The writing minor allows students to complement their area of major study with systematic experience in writing.

Students minoring in writing must complete a total of 15 hours (excluding ENGL 1010, 1020, 2030). None of the required 15 hours may be taken pass/fail. Only courses completed with a grade of C (2.0) or better may be counted toward the minor. A minimum of 9 upper-division hours of work in the minor must be taken with Downtown Campus English faculty.

Students are encouraged to take ENGL 1020 and ENGL 2030 before beginning the minor. (ENGL 2154 and ENGL 2030 can be taken concurrently.)
