The writing studies minor provides instruction in effective composition for both academic and professional settings. To this end, students will create written texts and may craft multimedia productions that incorporate text, image, sound, and video. Students in the program may take courses in three major areas: professional writing, composition and rhetoric, and digital rhetoric 

The writing minor complements the coursework of a variety of majors and prepares students for careers that value clear and effective composition skills. Students with a minor in writing studies will also be well equipped for graduate or professional study in fields such as business, law, education, and other writing-intensive disciplines.
