About The College Writing Prep Program

The Program:

Targeted & Comprehensive

Self-paced & Affordable

Who's it for
The College Writing Prep Program is a fully online self-paced course specifically created for those about to enter their first year of college but worry that their writing skills are not where they ought to be to tackle college-level curriculum, namely their first-semester English prerequisite. If this sounds like you, then this program will help you to become better prepared.

Targeted Content
In this basic 6-module program, you will review and practice some of the more key elements and activities likely encountered in first-year English composition, and perhaps even in your other courses.

No Burdensome Time Commitment

The Program is comprehensive yet to-the-point with concise modules that introduce an element, show examples, then offer a practice activity. It is up to you how much time you spend on each module and you can move forward and hop around as you wish.

Simple Technological Platform

The Program uses the latest course-delivery technology but does not get fancy! This means you don't have to be a tech wizard to operate it. Also, the self-paced, reviewable functionality means you can move through the modules at your own pace, including reviewing lecture modules and the practice activities whenever and as many times as you wish.

Affordable

Because MJ created this program to help as many people as possible, the Program pricing is based on a sliding scale model. Choose the tuition that works with your financial capability.
