Welcome!
The Writing Program offers courses designed to help students become more competent and confident writers of prose. These courses approach writing as one of the most important ways we have of making discoveries about ourselves and the world around us and of communicating these insights to others. The courses offered through this program teach skills of grammar and organization and strategies of invention, composition, revision, and editing.

In addition to training peer tutors, the Writing Program also offers course credit for Instructional Assistants (IAs) who assist faculty in class with small group discussions and workshops.
