写作与人文研究(Writing and Humanistic Studies)

麻省理工学院的写作与人文研究课程让学生有机会学习数种写作方式的技巧、形式和传统；从最基本的说明文到较为复杂的论说文、小说和诗歌、科学写作、科学和技术沟通以及数字媒介等等。我们的师资包括了小说家、散文家、诗人、翻译家、传记作者、历史学家、工程师和科学家。
本系列的课程分为四个领域：说明文、修辞和创意写作、科学写作和科技沟通。在每个领域中，入门的课程之后会接续着更专精的课程。入门课程是专门为那些写作经验不多的学生所规划的。进阶课程则是给那些已经掌握了句子和段落特性的学生们参与。几门较为进阶的课程用写作当作载体来探究众多文化中人文和科学的议题。
科学写作的课程规划是十二个月的研习，可以获得硕士学位。这是提供给那些希望能够撰写科学与科技文章给一般读者的学生所研习的，这个课程规划集中在两个学期内，有密集的进阶科学写作研讨课程。这和麻省理工学院其它的计划和科系又有合作：像是奈特科学报导计划、科技与社会；因此我们可以提供给不同背景的学生在科技写作研习的丰富资源。

The MIT Program in Writing and Humanistic Studies gives students the opportunity to learn the techniques, forms, and traditions of several kinds of writing, from basic expository prose to more advanced forms of non-fictional prose, fiction and poetry, science writing, scientific and technical communication and digital media. Our faculty consists of novelists, essayists, poets, translators, biographers, historians, engineers, and scientists.
Program subjects are arranged by four areas: exposition and rhetoric, creative writing, science writing, and technical communication. In each area, introductory subjects lead to more specialized advanced subjects. Introductory subjects are designed for students with little experience in writing. Advanced subjects are for students who have mastered the elements of sentence and paragraph structure. A number of the advanced subjects use writing as a vehicle to explore humanistic and scientific issues in a broad cultural context.
The Graduate Program in Science Writing is a 12-month course of study leading to a Master of Science degree. Aimed at students who wish to write about science and technology for general readers, the program is built around an intensive two-semester advanced science-writing seminar. Links to other MIT programs and departments - such as the Knight Science Journalism Fellowships program, Comparative Media Studies, and the Program in Science, Technology and Society - provide rich resources for students who come to the Graduate Program in Science Writing from a variety of backgrounds.
