The Department of Writing Studies, in the College of Liberal Arts, has approximately 60 faculty members and P&A instructors and offers a BS in Technical Writing and Communication and a First-Year Writing program. The Department of Writing Studies explores all aspects of written communication, preparing students for a world where writing is not only textual, but also digital, visual, social, and networked.

Writing Studies is expected to submit its first Writing Plan to the Campus Writing Board in Spring 2026. Once the Plan is approved and implementation has begun, further updates will be posted.
