Welcome to Arizona State University Writing Programs. Writing Programs at ASU is the largest program of its kind in the United States, offering some 500 courses each semester and serving over 17,000 students each year. The Writing Programs is home to the First-Year Writing Program, the Writing Certificate Program, and the Stretch Program, a nationally recognized program and the 2003 winner of the ASU President's Award for Innovation.

ASU Writing Programs is committed to the belief that the ability to write well is the hallmark of the educated person in any career or profession and is the collective and cross-disciplinary responsibility of the academic community. Writing Programs' primary mission is to help students acquire the writing skills they will need in their academic work, in their careers, and in their lives generally. We also offer resources to promote writing and the teaching of writing at ASU. Writing Programs offers a wide array of courses, from several sequences of first-year composition to advanced 300 and 400-level courses, with many of our courses offered in hybrid and online environments. Our first-year courses are all capped at 19 students to ensure that our first-year writing students receive a good deal of personal help and attention.
