<p>Hello,
I'm interested in a school with a Professional Writing major or minor; is there a list of schools with that major?
Thanks.</p>
<p>I’ve never heard of one. What kind of “professional” writing did you have in mind? Fiction? Non-fiction? Children’s books? Journalism, long form or daily newspaper or magazine? PR or advertising? Technical writing? </p>
<p>The possibilities are endless.</p>
<p>Some schools have specific “tracks” within the English major, meaning that they would take the same core courses but differ in upper level coursework. At my undergrad they had a writing track (as opposed to a literature track). But both tracks end up with a BA in English.</p>
<p>Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I think Shakina’s looking for majors along the lines of Rhetoric and Composition and things like that. It’s a writing intensive major that focuses on argumentative and analytical writing. Different schools call it different things. OWL describes it well here: [Purdue</a> OWL: The Rhetorical Situation](<a href=“Purdue OWL® - Purdue OWL® - Purdue University”>Purdue OWL® - Purdue OWL® - Purdue University)
I’m interested in professional writing or rhetoric as well. I know UMich and Illinois have good programs for that. If anyone else can name others that’d be great.</p>
