Irish Studies
From the Program Coordinator, Thomas Ihde
The Minor in Irish Studies provides students with an interdisciplinary approach to the culture, history, language, and literature of Ireland and the diaspora. The minor will serve students who are majoring in fields where global and cross-cultural awareness are especially valuable, such as business, political science, and health services; in such humanities-based fields as art, literature, history, and music; and in related multimedia fields.

Beat the Bots: A Writer's Guide to Surviving and Thriving in the Age of AI
You have a story to tell, an important story, your story. Getting that story down on paper is hard, though, and with bots taking over the writing market, authors worry they’ll soon become irrelevant. The answer isn’t to surrender to the doom and gloom predictions. On the contrary, it’s time to lean into your humanity, to do what artificial intelligence can’t—be creative.
