Winter Weather Campus Update

Out of an abundance of caution, Kennesaw State University will move to modified operations on Tuesday, January 21. All in-person classes will convert to remote instruction protocols determined by each instructor. Students should refer to course syllabi or D2L for details on how learning will continue during Modified Operations. All online classes will continue as scheduled. All in-person activities are cancelled. Visit kennesaw.edu/emergency for more information.

The Minor in Professional Writing prepares you to be a critical thinker, careful researcher, and a creative and capable writer who can respond effectively to contemporary writing tasks and opportunities. You will receive advanced instruction in rhetoric, editing, technologies of writing, workshop critique, and the production of workplace, academic, and creative texts.

This minor provides a credential in writing, which is a desirable supplement to a variety of undergraduate majors.
