Writing

Writing is an essential tool in any professional pursuit. The ability to communicate powerfully using the written word is a gift that will set you apart from the competition and help you to advance in your career in any industry. Or if you dream of becoming a social media storyteller, an investigative journalist, or a best-selling author, your success will depend on your lifetime commitment to mastering your craft. 

Pairing a writing minor with any major area of study is a decision that will pay off in countless ways, before and after you graduate. It will be an asset in graduate school, a competitive edge in your job search, and a valuable skill that can increase your earning potential. 

Our practical, workshop-style writing program will challenge you to refine your writing skills, ignite your creativity, and inspire you to explore your imagination through a timeless art form.
