Good writers are always in demand. At MMC, we focus on writing skills beginning with your first semester.
START WITH THE BASICS
As part of our liberal arts foundation, we require every student to complete the Writing Seminar Sequence. Depending on your skill level and previous study, we’ll place you in either a two-semester WRIT 101/102 sequence, or our one-semester Advanced Writing Seminar, WRIT 201.
Students who come to MMC with insufficient writing skills begin with WRIT 009: Intro to Writing or WRIT 010: Effective Thinking.
DEVELOP YOUR SKILLS
Our Academic Writing seminars cover a wide range of topics, from American cinema to the hero archetype, environmental sustainability to mythology and monsters. These seminars will give you the chance to design an original academic research project and identify primary and secondary sources. You’ll learn to write a compelling thesis and a well-structured argumentative essay, and come to appreciate the value of outlining, revising, and accepting feedback. And you’ll find that the more you do it, the better you become.
LIFELONG BENEFITS
After four years at MMC, you’ll be able to confidently devise and draft an argument, articulate your own ideas, and take your skills where they’re needed—pretty much everywhere.
