Writing Summer Institute: Introduction to College Writing
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
For over twenty years, UCLA Writing Programs has helped undergraduates successfully meet the challenges of a university education. Through a three week Writing Summer Institute, UCLA's highly regarded writing specialists will now help college bound students prepare for those challenges.
