minor: Professional & Public Writing

2024-2025

Minor: Professional & Public Writing (15 credits)

The Department of English offers a minor in Professional and Public Writing to prepare students to write confidently and effectively in professional situations and for public and community action. Students can choose to focus on professional writing, where they analyze and produce genres required by employers; public writing, where they study and engage in meaningful social action through written and digital texts; or a combination of courses tailored to students' own interests.

  • Prerequisites: Three general education writing courses, or equivalents.
  • Requirements: Students taking a minor in Professional and Public Writing will complete five upper-level courses for a requirement of fifteen credit hours. With prior approval from the English department, students may elect one writing course from another department. All courses must be passed with a grade of C or higher. Students may not use the same course in one group to count for both groups.
