Writing Programs

The Department of English is part of a larger network of writing-related programs and initiatives on campus. Our First-Year Writing Program serves more than 5000 students a year and employs over 60 instructors. Our writing center has recently received a generous donation from the Willis family as well as additional support from President Morehead's office and is currently undergoing a major renovation and expansion. The Writing Intensive Program reaches 1000-1500 students in approximately 45 diverse courses across the college, ranging from art history, biology, classics, geology, mathematics, music, religion, sociology, and women’s studies. Through the Writing Certificate Program, undergraduate students of all majors and fields can enhance their degrees and gain valuable communication skills through dedicated writing coursework.
