Writing minor.
This program is available at the following locations:
The School of Writing, Literature, and Film offers a Writing Minor that is distinctive and flexible. Coursework toward a the Writing Minor may be taken on-campus or through Ecampus, or with a combination of on-campus and Ecampus courses. Writing minors may also participate in on-campus and off-campus internships for credit.
A distinctive feature of the Writing Minor at OSU (Ecampus and on-campus) is that courses are taught by writing specialists (including tenure-line faculty) in the areas of creative writing and scientific, technical and professional writing. The minor is flexible: you may elect to take courses that highlight your strengths and areas of interest within the writing field, prepare for applications in graduate writing programs (such as MFA in creative writing or professional/technical communication), and enhance communication skills for the workplace.
Some students with aspirations for graduate, law or medical school studies pursue the Writing Minor to better enable themselves to write more proficiently at higher academic levels, where work is more rigorous and written output is expected to be of a very high level. Others engage in the Writing Minor for the pure joy of expressing themselves, and working with ideas and words.
Many students in the writing minor publish works in student publications on campus and in external publications.
Minor Code: 891
Students must receive a grade of C– or better in any course applied toward the minor. Such courses cannot be taken with S/U grading.
The Writing minor requires a minimum of 27 credits, as follows: a minimum of 11 credits from 100- to 300-level writing courses, plus a minimum of 12 credits from 400-level upper-division writing courses, plus one elective upper-division (300/400) 4-credit course in writing or literature.
