Start Here, Stay Here, Write Here
The Baccalaureate Degree Program in Professional Writing is intended to prepare students to write effectively in a variety of workplace and academic settings. Methods of instruction draw upon the strategies and techniques of practicing writers outside of the university, including workshops, peer conferencing, collaborative writing, portfolio preparation, and internships. At the same time, theory courses provide the necessary background to help students understand and appreciate the larger issues surrounding the writing and reading of texts.
Penn State Berks also offers a Professional Writing minor.
