Welcome to University Writing!

University Writing promotes effective written, oral, and visual communication, 
helping students to succeed in their academic work and laying a foundation for 
lifelong learning. The Aims of a BYU Education document states that undergraduates 
should acquire "language abilities that enable students to listen, speak, read, and 
write well; to communicate effectively with a wide range of audiences in one's area 
of expertise as well as on general subjects." University Writing purposes to accomplish 
these objectives through general education courses in First-Year Writing and Advanced 
Written and Oral Communication-offered both in departments and in the Honors Program-
as well as by enhancing writing instruction in courses throughout the curriculum.
