Science Writing Minor
The multidisciplinary minor in Science Writing is grounded in the complexities of effective communication and thorough scientific understanding.
You will split your studies between Foundations in Writing and Foundations in Science. Foundations in Writing classes refine writing skills for various public audiences through the study of rhetoric and scientific communication. Foundations in Science classes explore your chosen focus of biology, physics, chemistry or earth sciences.
