• The professional writing concentration is part of the English major at Messiah University. This program provides a unique opportunity to combine a passion for reading and writing with a vocation-centered approach to your education. The concentration curriculum will prepare students to hold a discipline-related writing career in areas like scientific writing, corporate communication, technical writing, editing and more.
  • Throughout the program, students will analyze literary texts by reading closely and applying disciplinary vocabularies, theories, and methods; respond to literary texts within their contexts such as culture, genre and literary history; demonstrate writing and rhetorical skills appropriate to both critical and creative tasks in a variety of media and genres, and articulate the connections between Christian faith and the study of English.
