The master of arts degree in writing, offered by the Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences, gives students a background in both professional and creative writing. It allows students to further develop the writing skills that they acquired as undergraduate students and to develop specialized writing skills such as business, technical, and journalistic writing. An M.A. in writing prepares students for careers in publishing, education, public relations, and advertising, as well as for careers as professional writers for magazines, newspapers, and businesses.
The master of arts degree in writing is offered during the day and evening on NSU’s main campus.

The successful M.A. in writing graduate is expected to:
- Write in multiple genres for diverse audiences using professional-level conventions
- Create texts employing professional-level rhetorical strategies
