Writing and Literacy

 

The Writing and Literacy concentration introduces students to:

• the discipline of writing studies
• the professional possibilities for writers
• the public uses of writing
• the social issues implicated in language use

 

Students write and analyze many kinds of texts, including:

• academic papers
• personal essays
• non-fiction magazine articles
• web-based documents
• technical and business reports
• poetry and fiction

 

Writing and Literacy majors prepare for careers in publishing, editing, freelance writing, journalism, business and technical writing, and grant writing, as well as (among other things) graduate study in English, law, and library and information sciences.
