Council of Writing Program Administrators

Baruch College’s Writing Center provides an innovative and professional environment for undergraduate students to develop and strengthen their writing and English language skills in the context of their assignments and course goals. Closely connected to academic departments and other college academic support units, the Writing Center is a key component in an undergraduate education committed to student writing.

Founded in 1997 and operating under the auspices of the Office of the Provost, the Bernard L. Schwartz Communication Institute at Baruch College is committed to facilitating the infusion of oral, written, and computer mediated communication into Baruch’s undergraduate curriculum through the development and support of Communication Intensive Courses (CICs), co-curricular programs for students, as well as its efforts as part of the CUNY WAC program. The Institute likewise sponsors a wide range of professional development activities for Baruch faculty and administration and engages in sustained dialogue on communication and communication intensive instruction with leading business professionals and educators from around the country.
