The Writing Institute
The Writing Institute offers adults the opportunity to improve their skills and become part of a community of writers. Classes are small (14 or fewer students) and employ the workshop method. Through interaction with a skilled and sensitive faculty and with other adults for whom the art of writing well is important, participants become more proficient at thinking precisely, hearing language clearly and expressing themselves effectively.
The Writing Institute offers classes in two 11-week terms, one in the fall and one in the spring. Workshops meet weekly in two-hour sessions, which are held during day and evening hours and on Saturdays. Occasionally, readings and special programs related to publishing or other topics of interest to writers are offered.
Every term at the Writing Institute includes workshops in poetry, fiction, nonfiction, memoir writing, and children's literature. In addition to these, the Writing Institute offers, on a less regular basis, workshops on topics like screenwriting, magazine writing, editing and the personal essay.
Graduate and Professional Programs
In addition to eight graduate programs in the areas of: Art of Teaching, Child Development, Dance, Health Advocacy, Human Genetics, Theatre, Women's History and Writing, Sarah Lawrence recently introduced new certificate programs in the fields of Applied Research Ethics and Publich Health Genetics/Genomics.
