The University Writing Program "promotes excellence in written communication among UC Davis students and faculty and emphasizes
the importance of writing in the larger community." The program, founded in 2004 as an expansion of the UC Davis Campus Writing
Center, offers discipline-specific writing classes for undergraduates and workshops for graduate students as well as an undergraduate
minor in writing and a graduate-level interdisciplinary emphasis in Writing, Rhetoric, and Composition Studies. It is the
administrative home of
Writing on the Edge, a journal on writing and teaching of writing, and
Prized Writing, which publishes juried undergraduate writing.
