For more information, consult with the department office, University Hall, room 215, or the departmental Web page. English Major in Writing Students majoring in English may apply to the major in writing. Admission to the writing major is competitive, and the overall configuration of courses in the writing major is somewhat different from the literature major. A required course in prose style and argument encourages students to focus on discursive forms, while a strong literature component and a course in cultural criticism further situate the writing done in the practical workshop courses in poetry and fiction within a context of general literacy. Students may apply for admission to the writing major through the department office in the early spring of each year.
