Professional Writing and Editing, B.A.
Degree offered.
- Bachelor of Arts in Professional Writing and Editing
- Bachelor of Sciences in Scientific and Technical Writing
Students may not earn both a B.A. and a B.S. in Writing Studies.
Nature of the Program
With a BA or BS degree in Writing Studies, you will learn to translate complex information into clear prose for diverse audiences and analyze how information flows through organizational structures. As you apply these skills in a capstone internship with a local business, non-profit, or government agency, you will see your writing come alive.
Regardless of what subjects you’re interested in and what careers you’re considering post-graduation, the BA degree in Professional Writing and Editing or the BS degree in Scientific and Technical Writing will improve the writing and communication skills that employers value.
When choosing between the BA degree in Professional Writing and Editing or the BS degree in Scientific and Technical Writing, individuals typically consider the path that most closely matches their future plans. The BA degree is well suited to students who are interested in the needs of an increasingly global society and want to make a difference as writers or editors for nonprofits, government agencies, and other professions. The BA’s emphasis on rhetorical, cultural, and linguistic competencies also prepares students for advanced academic work in a range of fields, including the humanities and legal studies. The BS degree is well suited to students who have an interest in science, healthcare, or technology and want to pursue professional careers where they convey complex topics clearly to the public. The BS degree also prepares students for the writing and research skills they need for advanced academic work.
Students who earn a degree in the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences must complete the University requirements, the College requirements for their specific degree program, and their major requirements. Both the BA in Professional Writing and Editing and the BS in Scientific and Technical Writing are SpeakWrite certified programs.
Qualified students pursuing a BA or BS in Writing Studies may earn up to 12 hours of graduate credit during their junior and senior year. These credits can count toward the master's program in Professional Writing and Editing, enabling them to complete their M.A. in one year following their undergraduate degree.
All students have the possibility of earning one or more minors; follow the link for a list of all available minors and their requirements . Please note that students may not earn a minor in their major field.

The Scientific and Technical Writing (STW) major is ideal if you are interested in a professional career as a writer, editor, researcher or a related career in science, industry and other professions that emphasize strong analytical and interpretive skills as well as creative problem-solving skills.
It also prepares you for the writing and research skills you will need for advanced academic work, especially if you wish to pursue research in technically-dense fields. You will develop your skills in a capstone internship that prepares you for writing and designing in professional settings. If you double-major in STW and another discipline, you are doubly-prepared to succeed given your writing skills and subject matter expertise!
Eligible STW students may earn both the B.S. and a master's degree in five years.

Building Connections and a Career in WVU's IMC Program
Stefanie Moore | Wednesday, July 17, 2024
Kate Gest has built lifelong professional connections through her time in the WVU Integrated Marketing Communications program. “In a virtual program, you don't typically expect to form meaningful relationships with people you've never met in person,” Gest noted. “However, the regular cadence of interactions on our discussion boards and outside group chats allowed me to truly get to know my classmates and celebrate their significant life and career milestones.”
One connection, Jarred Gillie, made an impact on the Gest’s experience. They attended the Defense Information School together and decided to attend WVU shortly after. “I cannot express enough how much having Jarred as a classmate and a friend helped me throughout this course. We were able to support and share the challenges of working full-time, him as an active duty Marine CommStrat Officer and me as an Army Civilian while completing this class, but we had the opportunity to share our wins in our personal, professional, and educational lives.” They pushed and motivated each other each semester. “I will forever be thankful and cannot wait to see where this degree takes us in our careers,” Gest adds.
Gest also looked forward to her advising sessions every semester with Wendy Ridenour . Gest felt Ridenour was genuinely in her corner and rooted for her success. Additionally, Gest noted the staff and professors being very accommodating and approachable. During her time in the program, she traveled over 100,000+ miles for work, spending long-haul flights writing papers and traveling with textbooks to foreign countries. She would notify her professors ahead of time and be able to make arrangements. “The bottom line is that flexibility and support are woven throughout this program, but it's up to you to take the initiative. I am so humbled and thankful to have had the chance to accomplish this goal and complete this degree nearly a decade after my undergraduate studies. If you're thinking about it, go for it and know that the support is there when you need it,” Gest explained.
My best advice for incoming students is to trust that the logistical details of your job and life will work themselves out. Kate Gest
This degree meant a lot to Gest. It has been a long-term goal of hers since she graduated with her undergraduate in fine arts and communications almost a decade ago. When she learned she could transfer credits from her time at DINFOS , she found it to be the perfect opportunity to pursue her goal. She has gone from a project manager to doing public relations with the Olympics, to public relations with the U.S. Army to now doing communication strategy with the U.S. Navy. “This program and degree directly align with my current and previous positions, and the marketing skills I've gained will continue to support my career, no matter which path I decide to stay or take in the future,” Gest noted.
- Explore the M.S. IMC + Military Public Affairs (DINFOS) cohort and partnership.
Her favorite course was her capstone course with Professor Bonnie Harris . She noted how Harris had the patience to ensure she and her classmates deeply understood the material throughout the final campaign assignment. The course offered her the flexibility and creativity to apply everything she learned throughout the program and create a fully developed, real-world IMC plan. The hands-on experience allowed her to gain confidence and hone her skills in a practical way. “Her teaching has had a direct impact on my current career.”
Gest is a Summer 2024 graduate of the Integrated Marketing Communications program as part of the Military Public Affairs cohort. She is currently a Strategist at Link.
