Writing, at a competent level (I'm not talking about award winning literature), is largely an issue of practice. Yes, you do get some practice in University, but it's hardly an efficient use of time, if better writing is your goal. You get much better practice on the job. Once again, more of a trades-like approach would be more efficient.
