While based firmly in the liberal arts tradition, the professional writing program has a strong career orientation and is designed to help prepare students for successful careers in writing, publishing, community advocacy, nonprofit organization, education, and the arts. The program develops articulate and reflective writers and provides professional skills needed to negotiate current work contexts. The BS can be approved by an advisor if it is more appropriate for the student’s career interest (Web writing, multimedia, or technical communication).

*Students choosing the BS option in Professional Writing must also complete a minor.
