Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

A writing minor gives students a chance to pursue an interest in writing while allowing them to pursue majors other than English.

As with the concentration, within the minor, students will advance through the study of creative writing, learn about theoretical frameworks for understanding the practice of writing, and be exposed to the theory and practice of professional writing.
