WRITING MINOR (Department of English)<br />

Description: The Writing minor allows students to practice the craft<br />

of writing in various forms and genres. In the minor, students will<br />

participate in a broad range of workshop-based courses, including<br />

poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, journalism, legal writing and<br />

business writing. Some courses will focus on creating original,<br />

artistic work, and others will be geared toward preparing students for<br />

careers involving professional writing or for graduate study.<br />

In the creative writing courses, students will master narrative forms<br />

and learn how to structure their own experiences into resonant<br />

fiction, creative nonfiction and poetry. In the journalism courses,<br />

students will learn how to gather appropriate information, ask<br />

pertinent questions and write hard news articles and features. In the<br />

academic and professional writing courses, students will practice<br />

original research, argumentation and advanced rhetorical strategies.<br />

All courses will be conducted as workshops, so students will<br />

regularly present their writing for close review and critique by their<br />

professors and peers. This emphasis on close reading, as well as on<br />

writing, will strengthen their critical abilities. The Writing minor will<br />

allow students to hone their writing skills and to find their own<br />

unique voices as they learn to negotiate the demands of specific<br />

audiences and genres.<br />

Minor coordinator: Professor <strong>Jay</strong> Walitalo, Department of English<br />

(212.484.1192, jwalitalo@jjay.cuny.edu)<br />

Admission to the minor: Completion of English 201 with a minimum<br />

grade of C+, or permission of the Writing Minor Advisor.<br />

Requirements: Students must complete 18 credits (6 courses) in<br />

satisfying the 18 credits.<br />
