Writing Skills Workshop

A requirement in the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate Program in Writing

This workshop is a practical approach to the writing process.

In-class writing exercises, demonstrations, discussions, revisions, and private conferences build your confidence as you improve the clarity, persuasiveness, and efficiency of your writing. The skills emphasized lend themselves to business or technical writing, as well as journalism or college-level essay writing. Enrollment is limited.
