A cognate draws courses from several disciplines into a coherent minor. The English Department offers a 21-hour (seven course) cognate open to students from any major.For Liberal Arts majors, the cognate combines academic preparation in writing and editing with technical courses in science, computer science, or engineering. For majors in these technical disciplines, the cognate offers additional English or Communications courses. All students complete an internship that provides practical experience supervised by a professional technical communicator. The sequence is particularly useful for students planning a career in technical communication.
