First-Year Writing Program

Bruce Johnson, Ph.D., Director

The First-Year Composition Program designs and oversees an integrated sequence of the composition courses required of all first-year students.  It ensures students the opportunity to develop as competent writers, readers, and critical thinkers.  Its primary objective is to prepare students for all types of academic writing necessary for success in their advanced studies.  As demonstration of the priority given to enhancing students' writing skills as a crucial foundation for their intellectual growth, the College commits its full-time English faculty members to teach a heavy percentage of the first-year composition courses.
