Students in class

The two courses in our primary course sequence, First-Year Writing Seminars (WR 120) and Writing, Research, & Inquiry Seminars (WR 151, WR 152, and WR 153), are offered in a wide range of interdisciplinary topics.  Although they differ with regard to content, all writing seminars lead students through a common sequence of writing assignments which build upon each other, providing a context for steady improvement.

Some students who are English language learners may be advised to take WR 111 and/or WR 112 prior to WR 120.

The Writing Program also offers upper-level courses the satisfy the Writing Intensive and/or other Hub requirements:
