This degree option provides a great range of practical skills in addition to theoretical and critical scholarship. Our courses bring the community into the classroom through various practical activities, such as writing web content, podcasting, editing and publishing materials and working with community organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By joining the English and Professional Writing Program, you become part of a community of writers who learn to recognize and communicate in a variety of genres and styles appropriate to their audience, as they participate in experiential opportunities, collaborative projects, and extra-curricular activities, such as the Professional Writing Students' Association<\/a> and Existere<\/em> - Journal of Art and Literature<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program is designed on a cohort model, where students complete each set of year-level requirements in order, which enables them to build the necessary foundation of knowledge and skills that prepare them for the expectations and assignments at the next level of the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since our courses are small, you will receive mentorship and guidance from supportive professors committed to your success in university and beyond.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
