The Professional Writing and Publishing Track offers three options: Business Communication and Publishing; Technical Communication and Publishing; and Journalism. This track is useful for business majors or students in technical or science areas who want to highlight their acquisition of writing skills. For students majoring in the humanities it provides an opportunity to develop areas of writing and publishing competencies in the professional arena. The Creative Writing and Publishing Track, is useful to all students as it encourages personal and professional development through creative writing and a knowledge of publishing. The Comprehensive Track is for students who do not wish to specialize in either of the other two tracks.

Note: Many majors already require one or more of the courses leading to the Certificate in Writing and Publishing or list these courses as recommended electives
