Declaration of Major in Literature and Language
Declaring a major in Literature requires the student to complete a Declaration of Major form that must be signed by the department chair. Before declaring a major, students must satisfy the LANG 120 requirement.
In addition to completion of LANG 120 , students declaring a major in Literature with a Concentration in Creative Writing or a Concentration in Creative Writing with Teacher Licensure must apply for acceptance into the concentration. The application process consists of:
- satisfactory completion of one 300-level LANG workshop;
- submission of a writing sample and a brief letter explaining why they are interested in creative writing and what their goals are for pursuing the concentration in creative writing. The letter should also include a short bibliography of literary texts the student will read and study independently between the time of admission to the program and enrollment in LANG 497 .
Applications will be reviewed once a semester by a committee appointed by the director of the creative writing program and the chair of the Department of Literature and Language. Students not admitted to the program may reapply after successfully completing a second 300-level LANG workshop or after consultation with the director of the creative writing program.
University Writing Center
The University Writing Center (UWC) provides support for all kinds of writing projects, to all kinds of writers (freshmen through seniors), and in all kinds of courses (or no course!). Student writing consultants offer friendly, informed attention at any point of the writing process—whether brainstorming, drafting, revising, or final editing. Appointments last 45 minutes and are available Monday through Friday, morning through evening hours. The UWC is located on the main floor of the library, RL 136.
