Professional Writing (Minor)

Middle Georgia State University's Department of English offers a Minor in Professional Writing for undergraduates enrolled in any discipline or program other than the Bachelor of Arts in English. Given the competitive nature of the job market, one of the best ways for graduates to set themselves apart from other job candidates is to signal that they possess professional writing and communication skills, as well as interpretive and critical thinking skills. Completing a Minor in Professional Writing will help graduates toward that end. Students planning for careers in any field can strengthen their degrees by adding a Minor in Professional Writing to their credentials.
