Goal: Students should broaden and deepen their liberal education through writing.
Two writing intensive courses outside of a student’s primary major pattern. Ordinarily, transfer courses may not be used to satisfy Area V general education requirements.
Requirements
2 courses/units
Two courses outside of the student’s primary major must be writing intensive. Writing intensive courses are upper level and require formal expository writing of at least 15 pages; they encourage writing as a process by addressing writing concerns and conventions, and by providing the instructor’s critique of student writing. Qualifying courses are marked V at the end of the course description. Such courses may also satisfy requirements in Area III Cultural Traditions, Area IV (2+2), and electives outside the primary major pattern. All Area V writing intensive courses have a prerequisite of FYS 1104 - First-Year Research Seminar.
