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.

These courses focus on areas of writing not specifically covered in the general curriculum and are designed to meet the needs of advanced students.
