Writing Studies Program

The Writing Studies Program prepares students to be critical thinkers and writers through a variety of classes in writing about writing, inquiry writing, writing across the curriculum, and writing in the professions. In small, workshop-style classes, students will approach writing as a process as they adjust their writing based on audience, genre, and purpose. Through these processes students will develop generative writing, rhetorical, and research practices that they can transfer to other college courses and beyond in their personal, professional, and civic lives.
