Minor in Screenwriting

About the Minor 

The minor in Screenwriting is intended to guide students from the acquisition of foundational screenwriting skills through the completion of a full-length script for film or television. Twelve credits are directly craft-oriented, teaching students what they need to know to translate their ideas into a format suitable for production; six credits are dedicated to elective choices that inform creative thinking and develop a student's individual voice.

Film & Television majors should note that they will be taking half of the courses in the Screenwriting minor as part of their degree requirements, making this minor a relatively simple addition to their education.

Admissions Requirements 

Students are required to declare a major before declaring a minor. Students admitted directly into a specific major at the time of matriculation may declare a minor beginning in their second semester. All requirements for the minor must be completed either concurrently with or prior to the completion of the primary major requirements. This ensures that students fulfill the expectations of their primary field of study while completing any additional areas of academic specialization.
