A minor in Rhetoric, Writing, and Professional Communication is available from the English Department for N.C. State students, except English majors in the Rhetoric and Professional Writing concentration (16ENGLLWR). The minor is suitable for students wishing to build strong writing and communication skills for the workplace. Students minoring in Rhetoric, Writing, and Professional Communication will be introduced to numerous genres, including internal and external documents such as proposals, reports, science writing, users guides, reference manuals, and online documentation. Except for ENG 350, no courses for the minor may be taken for S/U credit.
Admissions and Certification of Minor
Students can apply for admission to any university minor program in MyPack Portal. Admission will be based on the student's academic record, and in most cases no longer requires departmental review. The minor must be completed no later than the semester in which the student expects to graduate from his or her degree program. Students can monitor their progress toward completing the minor by viewing their Minor Degree Audit online, anytime, in MyPack Portal.
