THE MINOR
The English Department at Montclair State University welcomes the new Public
and Professional Writing Minor. The minor is available to all undergraduate students,
bringing forth a new way of writing. A form of writing that will benefit all students
once they graduate, acting as an essential component that students should have
on their resume. The minor teaches how to target an audience, create professional
documents, work collaboratively, and communicate more effectively. It is a minor that
can balance out any major. The Professional and Public Writing Minor can be easily
obtained through the completion of six classes. For students who plan to work in a
professional setting, this minor is extremely beneficial.
For millions of graduates, it can be quite scary entering the cut throat job
market in today’s competitive world. Students need a way to stand out amongst their
peers. Employers search for those individuals that have the ability to effectively
communicate, especially through writing. The Public and Professional Writing Minor
teaches students how to adapt their writing to serve several audiences and purposes,
capturing the attention of the public successfully and professionally. As a result,
students are able to thrive in the workplace.
