English: Writing, B.A.
|
|
The Writing Major deepens capacity for thought and prepares students to reach audiences through artful and purposeful use of the written word. It examines writing as a set of socially and historically situated activities. Courses focus on rhetoric, creativity, and professional practice while introducing students to common forms in a variety of contexts. This liberal arts program encourages students to read widely, to complete internships, and to consider a double major/minor.

Applied Writing: 12-16 Credits
At least four Applied Writing courses are required, from anywhere in this list. The five group labels are not prescriptive but descriptive, intended to facilitate students’ planning and conversations with advisers. One required course in this category may be replaced with an additional language or theory course or an approved internship. No more than four credits of internship(s) can count towards Applied Writing credit. At least two Applied Writing courses totaling at least six credits must be taken in residence.
