The Writing Minor

The Writing minor consists of 24 credits. At graduation, Writing minors must have a GPA of at least 2.0 in the minor. The calculation is based on the grades of all courses presented for the minor. Only the most recent grade is considered for courses that have been repeated. Under exceptional circumstances, one course taken Credit/No Credit may be presented for the minor with permission of the Chair of the department. Typically, this exception is made when a student has taken a 100-level English course before declaring the Writing minor. A maximum of 4 transfer credits may be counted toward the minor.
