About This Minor

To be successful in fields from business and industry to government and education, you must be able to communicate effectively. The English minor courses offered online through Penn State World Campus give you the opportunity to explore writing and literature in order to become a more practiced and eloquent communicator.

The study of literature can provide insights into human behavior as well as useful perspectives on diverse cultural values. Writing requires logical thinking to formulate a point of view and to find the most precise and appealing way in which to present it.
