The goal of the writing minor is to heighten students’ ability to use the written word effectively and with style. Designed to meet the different needs of individual students, the minor not only lay the foundation for successful careers in fields requiring mastery of lucid prose (such as law, medicine, screenwriting, and journalism), but also nurtures the expressive powers of those who, through fiction, poetry, or other creative writing, see writing as a form of self-discovery.
Note: As of September 2023, major declarations for the Writing program have been suspended; however, the Writing minor will remain and continue to accept declarations.
