UC Merced Merritt Writing Program

UC Merced Merritt Writing Program We offer an array of courses in which students explore the art of critical thinking, craft written expression, & address a variety of issues & audiences.

The Karen Merritt Writing Program trains students "to convey information to and communicate and interact effectively with multiple audiences, using advanced skills in written and other modes of communication" (Guiding Principles for General Education at UC Merced). We offer an array of courses in which students explore the art of critical thinking, craft their written expression, and address a var

iety of issues and audiences. Our students learn to use language actively, inventively, and responsibly by exchanging their work at all stages of their writing process while building cumulative portfolios. Our program's interdisciplinary approach to writing offers students the opportunity to reflect broadly on their college education as well as to consider a range of pre-professional and academic opportunities.
