The Writing Program aims to help all Northwestern students
learn to write clearly, thoughtfully, and effectively.
We believe that clear writing and thinking are central
to success in every academic discipline. We also believe
that writing is a complex activity worthy of study in
itself.
To accomplish our goals, we offer introductory,
intermediate, and advanced courses in expository writing.
We also provide tutoring and consultation in the Writing
Place, and we collaborate in many ways with colleagues
in other departments and programs-such as the English
Department, with its Writing Major, the Department of
Linguistics, the Center for the Writing Arts, and the
Medill School of Journalism-all in an effort to help
Northwestern students become strong writers and thinkers.
Writing Program courses are taught by
a core of experienced faculty who are well known for
their willingness to work closely with undergraduates
on their writing. WP courses are small so that instructors
can meet regularly with students in individual conferences
and comment extensively on student work. Many Writing
Program faculty also serve as Weinberg freshman advisers.

and about writing requirements and resources at Northwestern,

us in person in our Crowe / Kresge offices.
