Welcome to the writing community at the University of Pittsburgh-Greensburg.

Our major offers four areas of emphasis:

We also offer minors in fiction, creative nonfiction and journalism.

Our program is a member of the Associated Writing Programs -- the nation's largest professional organization for writers. And we're linked to one of the oldest and most prestigious writing programs in the country -- the University of Pittsburgh. All of our faculty are award-winning authors and teachers who look forward to working with you as you develop your craft. We're passionate about what we do and look forward to sharing our love of books and writing with you.

You'll find that our small class size offers you and your writing personalized attention and the kind of craft-based individualized feedback you can't get anywhere else.
