<p>The site lists screenwriting as a possible minor for undergraduates, but it doesn’t really say anything else about it… do you have to apply and send in various writing samples like the screenwriting major program? Or can you just do it if you get into the school?</p>
<p>From the website:</p>

<p>I had the same question about a minor in creative writing. Is it lumped under the general “English” category?</p>
<p>Nonsenescent:
I just checked the website. There is no “creative writing” minor per say (yes, lumped with general English), but you can incorporate creative writing classes in your minor. it says “An English minor may enroll in no more than two creative writing workshops” with the other five courses being more literature and reading based.</p>
