Bachelor [Writing] From University of Mount Union

The writing major provides students with a strong foundation in the craft of writing. Students examine the power of language at the macro and micro level; each course in the major offers opportunities to study global concerns about audience and purpose as well as careful editing at the level of the individual word. Students also read widely, analyzing from a writer?s perspective to gain insight into the strategies successful writers employ. Students also learn how writers conduct the research that results in creative and effective writing. Over a series of interrelated courses, students practice writing in multiple genres and for multiple purposes.?

Students will develop broadly as writers through in-class work and significant experiences outside the classroom such as trips to hear writers read their work, conferences in which writers discuss the act of writing and public opportunities for students to read and receive feedback on their own work. These experiences prepare students to enter the workforce or a graduate program.
