Writing Studies Minor

Overview

The Writing Studies minor supports students to become proficient writers and communicators in both academic and professional settings. Through a variety of writing lenses, including multimodal, digital, argumentative, creative, research, and professional, students learn to develop, analyze, and synthesize texts for careers and graduate programs in which written and verbal communication are essential. Writing Studies minors are supported to build a strong writing foundation and benefit from faculty mentorship, one-on-one writing conferences, small courses, and an active writing community.  The Writing Studies minor is, therefore, relevant and beneficial to students from across Pace’s academic schools, disciplines, and majors.

Minor Requirements

To complete the Writing Studies minor, students will take 5 ENG courses (15 credit hours) that focus on composition theory, rhetorical studies, and/or professional writing. Two courses must be at the 300-level.
