The minor in writing, rhetoric and technical communication complements all majors and is designed for students who wish to extend, enrich, and formalize their training as writers and communicators. WRTC minors can focus their coursework on personal and civic writing, social media and content strategy, user experience (UX), online theory and inclusive design, publication management, editing, technical writing, scientific and medical communication, legal and government writing, and more.
The 18-credit minor in Writing, Rhetoric and Technical Communication is open to all JMU undergraduate students.
WRTC minors work through a set of three core courses offered every semester and choose three additional courses from a longlist of electives that offer opportunities for students to deepen their communications skills in applied contexts related to their majors and other areas of interest.
