The Writing Minor advances the rhetoric and writing discipline’s knowledge, competencies, and values. Students will read theory, practice the conventions of writing in different genres, consider ethical issues raised in writing and publication, and develop critical mastery in writing for differing purposes and contexts - creative, reflective, digital, professional, and academic. Students cultivate creative thought, facility in expression, social power through writing, and professional communication competencies. The Writing Minor complements all majors and supports students’ ability to communicate effectively and be competitive in their chosen fields.
