NOBTS has adopted a Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) to improve English writing at the graduate level and has a writing center to provide resources.

Our plan to improve writing called, The Write Stuff.” We started piloting part of the plan  this semester, and it will be phased in over the next several years. 

We encourage you to visit this writing center at least one time as a NOBTS student and hope you  use this website to meet writing coaches to discuss your writing and ways to improve.
