The Writing Program

The Writing Program has principal responsibility for preparing USC students to write successfully in their academic and professional careers. Our pedagogical approach emphasizes process and rests on three pillars: dialogue and interaction as the core of a writing class; writing workshops as the primary mode of instruction; and individual or group conferences with instructors as a key vehicle for feedback. With 80 faculty and a range of composition courses, the Writing Program is dedicated to serving the needs of all USC students.
