Students from any department seeking to burnish their professional writing and presentation skills for the twenty-first-century marketplace will find each of these minors an invaluable complement to their chosen major.

To successfully earn a minor through PPC, students must be enrolled at least part-time and retain good academic standing. Half of all courses must be unique to the minor.
