The Department of Writing Studies and Composition (WSC) opened in September 2008 with the goal of addressing writing needs across the university through teaching, tutorial, and consultation. The new department recently launched a new minor and is in the process of building major programs and a graduate program.

WSC is also responsible for teaching the first-year writing courses, administering the Writing Proficiency Exam (a Hofstra graduation requirement), and providing Writing Center support to students (undergraduate and graduate) and faculty across the disciplines.
