Spanish-Requisite
The Spanish requirement is mandatory for all undergraduate students and must be passed in order to obtain their professional degree.
This requirement consists of two 2-credit courses: College Writing I and College Writing II, and two E-type courses.
The University Writing courses aim to develop the fundamental skills of writing and reading academic texts.
The courses seek:
• Read articles written for a specialized audience.
• Write texts that reflect the processes of critical reading comprehension, by developing arguments that express a well-founded and independent position.
• That students assume an ethical position, so that they are responsible for what they say and for the way they write what they want to say.
The College Writing I course is a prerequisite for the II course. This requirement must be completed before the third semester of studies.
The student can take either of the following two options:
College Writing I: LENG 1511 or LITE 1621
College Writing II: LENG 1512 or LITE 1622
E-type courses are intended to have students improve their academic writing to demonstrate their disciplinary understandings.
College Writing courses must be taken before the third semester of study. E-type courses may be taken throughout the program.
