Here’s how Writing + SLC + NYC places you in the epicenter of world-class writing:

  • You’ll take two intensive 5 credit writing workshops, each in a small seminar format and involving one-on-one sessions with members of SLC’s distinguished writing faculty, under whose guidance you’ll craft your own writing projects.
  • You’ll also select a 5 credit lecture course from among the College’s broad offerings in any subject of your choice. Each SLC lecture course includes biweekly seminars we call “group conferences.” | Explore the 2012-2013 course catalog»

College vans will chauffeur you to New York City for readings and other activities, and even provide service into the City on weekends. And the train to Grand Central Station that departs every half-hour is just a short walk from campus.
