Welcome to the Lincoln University COMPOSITION PROGRAM AND STUDENT WRITING PAGE Composition Program Mission Statement The mission of the Composition Program at Lincoln University is to prepare students for all writing assignments throughout their undergraduate academic experience. The Program seeks to create an environment in which writing skills are given the highest priority. The Program seeks to foster the understanding that writing is a mode of learning just as it is a critical communication medium.
