The minor in writing is designed to develop the student’s proficiency in a variety of forms of written communication and is open to English and non-English majors. Although the minor does not purport to be a training program for professional writers, students will find the minor helpful in preparing for careers in business and the sciences since these require an ability to effectively use written language. Also, because writing skills increasingly are emphasized in English classes at all educational levels, students interested in teaching will find this minor particularly useful.
