Professional Writing, a program in the English Department, is an ideal first or second major or a minor for students who love to write and want to learn how to write effectively in a wide range of print and digital media.

As a Professional Writing major or Rhetoric and Writing minor, you will learn rhetorical theories and strategies that will prepare you to be an excellent communicator for a variety of civic, academic, and professional careers. You will have the opportunity to engage in a number of client-based and community-based writing projects, such as creating websites, brochures, social media campaigns, and grant proposals for local organizations.

Professional Writing alumni work in a variety of fields, including corporate and marketing communications, digital media, editing and publishing, education, government, healthcare, law, and technology.
