About This Book

Writing Program Administration and the Community College offers a comprehensive study of the administration of writing programs at public, two-year institutions. Author Heather Ostman describes the community college’s diverse students who shape its mission with their changing needs and demographics. A history of the community college places the institution within the broader context of American higher education and is followed by practical information about the day-to-day work of the writing program administrator at the two-year college. Writing Program Administration and the Community College also addresses current issues and concerns faced by WPAs and writing instructors, including the politics of and future for composition at community colleges. Writing Program Administration and the Community College will deepen the understanding of composition and WPA work at this institution for all WPAs—at community colleges and four-year institutions, composition instructors, college administrators, and graduate students pursuing careers in the field.
