The writing minor offers students an opportunity to design a writing program that coincides with their major and/or their career plans. Writing is perhaps the single most important skill students can develop, and the writing minor gives interested students a wide degree of flexibility in designing a program that increases that skill. It should appeal to English majors, communication majors, and students in applied or professional areas seeking a strong writing component in their studies.

Students design their program with the coordinator of the Writing major, the English Department chair, or the Communication Department chair. Students can focus their minor program on creative, journalistic, or technical writing, or they can take a combination of courses from these different areas.
