Onsite courses are held during the daytime, in the evenings, and on weekends on the UCLA campus and at the 1010 Westwood Boulevard facility in Westwood Village. We also offer courses in downtown Los Angeles at the Figueroa Courtyard.

The Writers' Program offers an extraordinary range of courses in fiction, nonfiction, playwriting, poetry, publishing, and writing for the youth market.
