Admission Requirements

Become a professional writing major

There are no formal admission requirements for the professional writing major. Just be admitted to Missouri State and declare professional writing as your major.

Your first steps

  1. Become a Bear: Apply to Missouri State. (If you’re not already a current student.)
  2. Before completing 60 credit hours, contact the Academic Advising and Transfer Center to declare or change your major to professional writing.

Completing the program requirements

Once you begin the professional writing major, we establish the catalog year for your program. That means if changes are made to the program requirements after you have started the program, those changes would not apply to you.

Your advisor can also introduce you to extra-curricular activities and other opportunities the English department offers.
