Writing Programs

Welcome to the Writing Program website. The overall purpose of the Writing Program is to improve the teaching and learning of writing at Kent State University.  Our courses are designed with the goal of communicating effectively in specific audiences.  To that end, writing courses integrate reading, writing, and visual media to develop successful written communication in academic and professional settings. 

Our classes include 11001S or 11002S Writing I S, 11011 Writing I, 21011 Writing II, 20002 Technical Writing, 30065 Expository Prose Writing, 30064 Argumentative Prose Writing, 30063 Advanced Business Writing, 30062 Principles of Technical Writing, 20021 Introduction to Creative Writing, 30067 Fiction Writing I, 30068 Fiction Writing II, 30069 Poetry Writing I, and 30070 Poetry Writing II.

Many of our courses are offered in a networked classroom called the TWRC (Technology & Writing Research Classroom) and in the Wireless Writing Classrooms located in Satterfield Hall.  Our facilities are equipped with new computers for producing college-level writing and research in a technology-rich classroom environment.  In addition, other writing classes are taught in Moulton Hall or other computer classrooms across the university. We invite you to learn more about the Writing Programs.  Explore our website or contact our office.
