Minor Only
As of today, the ability to effectively communicate through writing is the number one most employable job skill. The minor in Professional Writing offers students advanced instruction in writing and editing as well as guidance in adapting to new technologies, new modes of discourse, and new rhetorical situations. Students learn how to write, design, and edit effectively in multiple forms—including print, mixed media, and a variety of professional genres—for specific purposes, contexts, and audiences. The editors (e.g., journalists, medical writers, content developers) and those whose academic and professional careers will demand advanced writing and editing skills. The minor works as a practical supplement to any major, allowing students to not only advance their writing skills for future careers, but assist students in writing stronger essays and reports during their collegiate years.
