The Professional Writing program offers a unique opportunity to get practical experience in the profession of writing. Our students develop inventive approaches to writing that keep pace with cultural, social and technological changes. Our graduates are highly sought after by employers who recognize the need for talented communicators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By joining the Professional Writing Program, you become part of a community of writers who learn to recognize and communicate in a variety of genres and styles appropriate to their audience, as they participate in experiential opportunities, collaborative projects, and extra-curricular activities, such as the Professional Writing Students' Association<\/a> and Existere<\/em> - Journal of Art and Literature<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program is designed on a cohort model, where students complete each set of year-level requirements in order, which enables them to build the necessary foundation of knowledge and skills that prepare them for the expectations and assignments at the next level of the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since our courses are small, you will receive mentorship and guidance from supportive professors committed to your success in university and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies also offers a number of scholarships, awards and bursaries <\/a>and emergency funding<\/a> for students in financial need.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
