Undergraduate Catalog

Professional Writing

The Professional Writing Major and Minor will provide the opportunity to develop writing, communication, and technical skills central to the successful pursuit of academic and professional endeavors. It is a combination of technical and creative writing and some journalism. Over the course of both major and minor, students will actively engage in the use and employment of web– and technology-based assets in a range of contexts. More than basic technology literacy, the coursework focuses on the development of competency and experience that will better equip students to succeed in their chosen field.

One-half of the total credit hours required in the Professional Writing major or minor must be taken at the College. In addition, students must receive a final grade of “C” or better in all required courses.
