Minor in Professional and Technical Writing


Similar to the Concentration in Career Writing, students enroll in English 129, the core course for this concentration. Students receive hands-on experience in planning and writing two publications: The English Department Newsletter and The Writing Life (soon to be made available online).

To see descriptions of these courses, check the general course descriptions. Faculty usually provide a more extensive description of the courses when they are offered. To find the current course offerings, look here at each semester.

Check with the Career Writing Program Coordinator at least once each semester to track your progress.
