The Program

Students may elect to complete the model major in Writing Studies with the two-discipline track by combining courses in communications studies and English with six courses from one of these fields and five from the other. This, however, is just one model curriculum. Students may also incorporate writing courses from another department to make a three-discipline liberal arts major, and thus tailor their curriculum to their own specific interests. In this case students will take five courses from either communications studies or English, three in the other, and three in a third discipline. All students will be required to complete the Liberal Arts Seminar (LAM 499 Senior Seminar or LAM 403 Honors Thesis I/LAM 404 Honors Thesis II). At least two courses beyond the Senior Seminar LAM 499 Senior Seminar must be at the 300 or 400 level.
