Students who major in Professional Writing prepare themselves for a career in writing by developing critical thinking skills, creativity, and technical expertise. Passionate about the written word, you translate your skills in voice, editing, creativity and research into a finely-crafted piece that fits the audience of the medium.
The demand for fine writing is growing, and you could find yourself as a content writer who blends words with video / photography / audio, a blogger for a company, a grant writer for a nonprofit, or a freelancer who needs to tell the organization’s story. Graduates of the program will have a portfolio of polished, publishable work.
