为什么一个

We understand that most writing on the 专业 level is composed within the context of some other field. 因此, we designed this minor as an interdisciplinary one that can improve your work within your chosen major and can launch you to greater heights no matter what your profession after graduation. We even consider existing courses in a range of other UNE programs for inclusion in the 写作 minor, 让你实现不仅仅是核心,而是, 在某些情况下, 主修要求-当你完成辅修课程时.

The 写作 minor has been one of my favorite p艺术 of UNE because it allows me to expand on my creativity in a 专业 format. 我每上一节课, 我不只是在写故事或诗歌, I’m also learning how to apply the skills I’ve learned to my current education and my future career opportunities.” — Jordyn Ransom ’23 Elementary/Middle Education major/写作 minor
