A minor in Writing should appeal to a number of MTSU constituencies including (1) those seeking a minor which will add to their potential employability (since many employers actively seek college graduates regardless of major who can demonstrate solid communication skills, the minor in writing should be helpful to those going on the job market); (2) those who wish to pursue graduate work in writing, especially in creative writing (the creation of this new minor has lead to the elimination of ENGL 351, Creative Writing, and its replacement by three new courses focusing on the major literary genres).

Dr. Ron Kates is the official advisor for this new minor. He can be reached at 898-2595.

Below you will find a list of courses included in the writing minor and a brief description of the requirements.

Students will choose 18 hours of courses from the following list. No more than 12 hours may be taken in any one department.
