The UMass Amherst Writing Program empowers student writers to examine the intersections of writing, language, and power and learn the rhetorical flexibility needed for their academic, professional, public, and personal lives.
Since 1982, we have been an independent academic unit serving the entire campus community and remain a key part of undergraduate general education here at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
The Writing Program's Best Text Contest recognizes and celebrates outstanding student writing. Winning entries are compiled in the Best Text Collection.
