Writing, Editing, and Publishing Minor
|
|
This flexible minor provides students with a solid foundation in writing processes and practices, followed by customized advanced work in writing, editing, design, production, and marketing. The minor culminates in guided professional practice in editing and publishing, which prepares students for competitive internships and positions in the field.
Students from any major can design a writing, editing, and publishing minor that establishes broad foundations in the field, or that provides specialized training in an area such as journalism and digital editing and publishing, literary editing and publishing, or publishing and marketing (please see the sample, customized paths through the minor listed after the requirements).
The minor is five courses; students must complete at least three courses that do not count towards their major.
Learning Outcomes:
- Write, design, and present texts for print and digital media.
- Evaluate, revise, and edit texts for diverse audiences and publication platforms.
