The minor in professional writing prepares students to be critical thinkers, careful researchers, and creative and capable writers who are able to respond effectively to contemporary writing tasks and opportunities. Students receive advanced instruction in rhetoric, editing, technologies of writing, workshop critique, and the production of workplace, academic, and creative texts. The minor provides a credential in writing, which is a desirable supplement to a variety of undergraduate majors.
