What do all careers require across industries? The ability to communicate clearly and effectively.
With a minor in writing, you’ll explore at least three different genres—from technical forms like journalism and grant writing to more creative forms like poetry and fiction. This exposure will increase your media literacy skills, as well as your ability to communicate with different target audiences.
