English, Writing Minor

A minimum of 18 credits of courses on writing, not including ENGL 113 . If arrangements are made in advance, credit toward the writing minor can also be given for internships which involve a significant amount of writing or editing and for courses in other departments which involve internship-type experience and a significant amount of writing. Students should be aware that the writing minor is not approved for teacher certification by the state. Because of the importance of directed experience in writing, students pursuing this minor are strongly encouraged to write for campus publications, assist with the visiting writers series and/or work on the staff of the Klooster Center for Excellence in Writing. Further details and advice about course selection, particularly arrangements for securing English credit for internships in other departments, may be obtained from the advisor for English minors. Courses counted toward a writing minor may not also be counted toward an English major or another English minor.
