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.
