Narrative Nonfiction

Please note that this minor has been renamed to “Narrative Nonfiction.” It was listed as Interdepartmental Minor in Narrative Nonfiction when this catalog was originally published.

This 16-credit minor spans the two Schools, allowing students to create nonfiction work that emphasizes storytelling and character development across different disciplines and with different media. Students are encouraged to consider current issues-including those pertaining to diversity and community, from a variety of perspectives. The practice of nonfiction writing addresses the issues of society in all its breadth, and nonfiction narrative, which tends to be long-form nonfiction, addresses it in depth as well.
