Undergraduate
Undergraduates can take Writing Program courses that cater to writers across a variety of levels and domains. They can also benefit from Writing Program resources to grow as writers outside the formal structures of coursework.
About the Program
Our Mission
The Cook Family Writing Program offers courses at every level—from introductory to advanced—to ensure that Northwestern undergraduates have ample opportunities to learn to write clearly and persuasively. We also work with faculty across the University to help their students become more effective writers.

Graduate
The Writing Program offers graduate students opportunities to develop as writers through The Graduate Writing Place, as well as opportunities to develop as writing instructors through coursework and Graduate Writing Place fellowships and assistantships.
Faculty
The Writing Program can help faculty develop composition courses or integrate writing instruction into their courses through in-person meetings, workshops, and online resources. We can also help your students get the most out of their visits to the Writing Place.
Highlights
The Writing Place
The Writing Place is Northwestern’s center for peer writing consultations. Whether you are writing a paper for a class, composing application letters and essays, or working on some other writing project, a Writing Place consultant can help you at any stage of the writing process, from talking about ideas to developing a plan to revising and editing a draft.
