Coursework in three concentrations - applied writing, composition and rhetoric, and creative writing - allows students to gain theoretical and practical knowledge in various fields of professional writing. As students become experienced in producing and analyzing the business, technical, journalistic, and creative texts in these three concentrations, they develop a sophisticated understanding of style, structure, and audience. MAPW students will become writing professionals who can move in many directions during their careers; they will become flexible writers who can tune in to the writing conventions of a given genre, adapting their writing style to the requirements of various rhetorical contexts. Housed in the Department of English, the MAPW Program works in cooperation with other departments such as Communication and Visual Arts. Additional resources of special importance to the program faculty and students are the Kennesaw State University Writing Center, the Kennesaw Mountain Writing Project, the Kennesaw State University Press, and the Graduate Writers Association.     Accreditation Information: SACS  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Bachelors Degree  Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements TOEFL or IELTS Evaluation of foreign transcripts by agency listed at www.naces.org/members.htm Bank Letter and Sponsor Letter for F1 Student Visa  Requirements Qualifying Exam: GRE Minimum Exam Score: 800 GPA or Equivalent: 2.50 English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: No Clinical Internship: No   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 660  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 1486  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $508  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $12172  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
