Description:Writing is a creative practice in its own right. Like art and design, a writing practice has sketches, masterpieces, final realizations, and everything in between. At ECU, we believe writing does not merely reflect the world, but is also an action in the world.

The interdisciplinary Writing track offers students a chance to explore writing in a studio context and to experiment with language in a diverse community of writers.
