College Writing Program

University of Rochester Upper Level Writing Requirement


All candidates for B.A. or B.S. degrees are expected to acquire significant experience in writing as part of the requirements for their majors. Each concentration will explicitly incorporate student writing into its curriculum and/or requirements. This may include writing courses in the department's own curriculum, upper-level writing courses in another department, or a combination of both. Because the writing requirement is an integral part of the major itself, students who elect to do two majors should expect to gain writing experience in each major. For further information, students should consult the advisor in their major.
