Professional Writing at UL

A concentration in Professional Writing provides you with knowledge and experience analyzing text and work contexts, and composing in a range of professional and technical genres. You will develop the research, writing, and design skills to prepare you to create text for academic, business, government, and technical purposes. The M.A. will qualify you for a position as a professional or technical writer, prepare you for future graduate work, and, if you take graduate courses in Rhetoric and Composition, prepare you to teach professional writing at community colleges and universities.
