The Writing Minor is highly adaptable and can be combined with any major to help students to develop the critical skill of writing effectively in their respective fields.

According to a recent survey of CSB/SJU Business Alumni, the overwhelming majority reported how writing skills are crucial. To succeed in their business careers, they need the skills “to compose concise and understandable emails, well-constructed business reports, executive summaries on research issues, etc.”

Our department supplements the study of writing with numerous events and opportunities, including internships, student readings, and visiting writers. Contact us to find out how to create a concentration in writing that complements your career goals and individual interests.
