The writing program helps students learn to communicate in their chosen discipline and experience writing from the perspective of many different disciplines and professors. Two majors are available, writing and creative writing, supported by Coe's unique Writing-Across-the-Curriculum program and a vibrant writing center.

Writing-Across-the-Curriculum
The Writing-Across-the-Curriculum program involves 200 writing emphasis courses per year taught in every department at Coe. Over 80% of Coe's faculty teach these writing courses, ensuring that students learn to communicate effectively within their discipline while gaining experience writing within other fields of study. This program symbolizes Coe's commitment to writing as an invaluable means for enhancing learning.

Writing Center
Coe's Writing Center is the largest undergraduate writing center in the United States, staffed by 70 undergraduates representing virtually every major at Coe. The Writing Center provides assistance on brainstorming, drafting, revising, editing, or just talking about ideas. It is also an ideal place to enjoy fresh-roasted coffee and the best tea from China.

Student Publications
Coe offers a wide variety of opportunities for students to publish their writing. Examples include:

• The Coe Review, a national literary magazine, publishes fiction and poetry by writers from Coe and the rest of the world, a poetry volume in the fall and fiction in the spring.
  
  
• Fantasticoe, Coe's fantasy class e-magazine.
  
  
• The Coe College Cosmos, an independent weekly student newspaper that has been published since 1890, provides practical, first-hand experience for any students interested in journalism.
  
  
• The Pearl, a literary journal, publishes non-fiction works by Coe students.
