DEVELOPING AN Effective WRITING PRACTICE
for students from all backgrounds and disciplines.
Who We Are
GW’s University Writing Program (UWP) aims to strengthen every GW student's ability to write clearly and effectively, preparing them for excellence in their academic and professional careers. First Year Writing courses and Writing in the Disciplines courses approach writing through a variety of topics to engage students across their academic careers at GW.
Certified as a program of excellence by the Conference on College Composition and Communication, UWP emphasizes the importance of writing in all academic, public and professional enterprises that require critical thinking and communication. The program also houses the GW Writing Center, offering year-round writing support to all GW undergraduates, graduate students and faculty.
What We Offer
University Writing by the Numbers
Sara Beyer, BA '21, Criminal Justice
"Through my UW and WID courses, I honed my skills in recognizing and using rhetoric; organizing my thoughts and writing in an intuitive way; and engaging with complex stories with compassion ... As I begin my career in public defense, I am grateful to have had that undergrad experience to shape my advocacy and the way I work with my clients."
Olivia Rose, BA ‘26, Organizational Sciences
"I found one of the most difficult yet critical parts of writing is the editing process. Sometimes you have no idea where to start or what you should even be looking for but my UW courses taught me that peer review and feedback is often a very strong first step."
GW Undergraduate Alumni are invited to share their testimonials on our
