Turn Your Writing Skills into Career Opportunities
Pitt-Johnstown's Writing program, housed in the Humanities Division, will help you turn those passions into a career. The demand for content generation and both creative and professional writers has never been higher.
Students can tailor their education by choosing a concentration in Creative Writing or Professional Writing, developing the skills needed to communicate effectively across a wide range of industries and audiences.
Creative Writing encourages students to develop their voice through fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, and other literary forms while working closely with experienced faculty and fellow writers.
Professional Writing prepares students to create clear, engaging content for business, marketing, public relations, technical communication, digital media, and other professional settings where strong writing is essential.
Small class sizes, individualized faculty mentorship, and opportunities for internships and hands-on projects help students build a professional portfolio and prepare for careers in publishing, editing, marketing, communications, public relations, technical writing, content creation, and many other writing-focused professions.
