Back to HomeWhat This Program Delivers
Academic and Professional Writing develops your ability to produce sophisticated written English for formal contexts. You'll learn to structure arguments effectively, express complex ideas with clarity, and adapt your writing style to different academic and business purposes. This isn't about following rigid templates; it's about developing genuine writing sophistication that serves you across various professional contexts.
When you complete this program, you'll approach writing tasks with confidence rather than anxiety. The uncertainty about whether your structure is appropriate fades. Your ability to express nuanced ideas in writing improves markedly. You'll produce documents that reflect your expertise and thinking clearly, whether you're writing research papers, business reports, or formal correspondence.
Understanding Your Current Challenge
You might find yourself struggling with formal writing assignments, uncertain about how to structure academic essays or professional reports in English. Perhaps you can express your ideas conversationally but feel they lose sophistication when you try to write formally. The conventions of academic citation, the appropriate level of formality, or how to organize complex arguments may feel unclear or overwhelming.
These challenges create real obstacles. Graduate programs require research papers that meet specific academic standards. Professional advancement often depends on your ability to produce clear, well-organized documents. Without strong formal writing skills, you might avoid opportunities that require extensive writing, or spend excessive time struggling with assignments that should showcase your expertise.
This difficulty doesn't reflect your intelligence or your ideas. It simply means you haven't had sufficient practice with the specific conventions and structures of formal English writing. You need focused instruction on academic and professional writing patterns, combined with detailed feedback on your actual work. That's the missing piece that holds many capable professionals and students back from achieving their goals.
Our Approach to Developing Your Writing
Academic and Professional Writing focuses on developing your actual writing abilities through extensive practice and individualized feedback. Rather than just learning about writing principles, you'll produce multiple substantial pieces throughout the program. Each piece receives detailed commentary on organization, clarity, style, and technical accuracy, helping you understand exactly how to improve.
The curriculum covers essential elements of formal writing including essay structure, argument development, appropriate tone for different contexts, citation practices, and revision techniques. You'll learn to recognize what makes writing effective in academic and professional settings, and how to apply these principles to your own work. The program addresses both the mechanical aspects like grammar and punctuation, and the higher-level concerns of organization and persuasiveness.
Your instructor works with you individually on your writing projects, providing guidance that addresses your specific patterns and challenges. The small group format allows for workshop-style sessions where you learn from reviewing others' work as well as receiving feedback on your own. This combination of individual attention and peer learning creates an environment where genuine writing improvement happens.
Your Journey Through the Program
The 10-week program meets twice weekly for two-hour sessions that balance instruction with writing practice and review. Between sessions, you'll work on writing assignments that receive detailed individual feedback. The pace is intensive but manageable, with each week building on previous learning to develop increasingly sophisticated writing abilities.
Weeks 1-3: Foundation and Structure
Initial weeks focus on fundamental elements of academic and professional writing. You'll work on paragraph structure, thesis development, and creating clear organizational frameworks. Your first writing assignments help establish a baseline and identify areas for particular focus in your development.
Weeks 4-7: Development and Refinement
Mid-program emphasis shifts to developing more sophisticated arguments and refining your style. You'll work on longer pieces, practice different document formats, and learn citation conventions. The feedback becomes increasingly nuanced, addressing not just basic correctness but effectiveness and sophistication of expression.
Weeks 8-10: Integration and Polish
Final weeks focus on producing polished, publication-ready work. You'll complete a substantial writing project that demonstrates your developed abilities, incorporating all the skills practiced throughout the program. The revision process receives particular attention, helping you learn to edit your own work effectively.
Throughout the program, you receive extensive written feedback on every piece you submit. Your instructor identifies patterns in your writing, both strengths to build on and areas needing improvement. This personalized guidance ensures you're developing the specific skills most relevant to your academic or professional goals. The workshop sessions provide additional perspective as you learn from seeing how others approach similar challenges.

Individual progress varies depending on your starting level, the amount of time you dedicate to writing practice outside sessions, and your specific goals. Some participants focus primarily on academic writing, while others emphasize business documents. Your instructor adapts feedback and guidance to support your particular development path and ensure the program serves your actual needs.
