Writing

UCSC does not offer this as an undergraduate major.

The Literature Department and the Writing Program at UC Santa Cruz offer courses in creative writing and in composition and rhetoric, as well as a concentration in Creative Writing for students dedicated to the study of literature, and to the writing of poetry, fiction, memoir, and cross-genre experiments. 

The Writing Program offers courses designed to help students become more competent and confident writers of prose. These courses approach writing as one of the most important ways we have of making discoveries about ourselves and the world around us and of communicating these insights to others. The courses offered through this program teach skills of grammar and organization and strategies of invention, composition, revision, and editing.
