| Professional and Creative Writing Program Description |
| The Professional and Creative Writing Major provides an official platform for students to develop as professional writers. Students who major in Professional and Creative Writing will take a core group of courses in areas that all writers need to master: Professional and Business Communication, Journalism, Advanced Academic Writing, and Creative Writing. From there, students will be able to choose between two tracks where they can focus on either professional or creative writing. This method produces flexible writers who are able to transfer their skills to many different areas. Our writing curriculum incorporates literary study and textual analysis while drawing heavily from the methods in Teaching for Transfer (TFT), a proven pedagogy that promotes versatility. The major itself is versatile, giving students the options to excel in the current workplace and in the future workplace. |
