See how one WPI student used her Professional Writing major to build upon her global experience in Ghana.
No matter how impressive or revolutionary a study or experiment is, it will have trouble reaching an audience if its ideas can’t be effectively conveyed and shared.
That’s where the Professional Writing Program comes in.
The Professional Writing Program is invaluable to the WPI community, helping students to build communication skills and make their ideas accessible to all. The program works to stress the importance of how to explain, propose, and sustain technical work through the power of the written word. Overall, the program aims to help students increase their value to employers, better inform clients, and develop writing, leadership, and presentation skills, enabling them to be better prepared for life after WPI.
