The University Writing Program offers courses that fulfill the UC Entry Level and UCR English writing requirements. These courses are designed to help students write effectively in other University courses and later in their professional lives. University writing demands the ability to read carefully, to analyze what is read, and to draw conclusions about those data for both general and expert audiences. These courses help students learn to write well, read closely, and speak formally in public.
