THE MAJOR IN LITERARY STUDIES: WRITING CONCENTRATION
19
This is a worksheet for Literary Studies majors concentrating in Writing. (Literature and Critical Analysis Concentrations please find your worksheet at Lang's website; Students intereted in Journalism are encouraged to consider majoring in Journalism + Design.

As of fall 2020, students declaring the major in Literary Studies must take twelve (12) courses, outlined as follows. All courses offered by Literary Studies must be passed with a grade of C or better, except sequenced Writing Workshops, which have a stricter requirement: Students may not take an Intermediate Writing Workshop unless they have received a grade of B or higher in the Introductory Workshop in the same genre. A minimum GPA of 3.0 is expected for all students intending to declare a major in Literary Studies (slightly lower GPAs can be accepted if the student receives an A in the Introductory course connected to their area, or both Introductory courses if the student is mixing and matching between areas).

Declare your major by following the process outlined in Declaring a Major. Students who have declared the major in Literary Studies prior to fall 2020 but wish to follow the fall 2020 curriculum may consult their Student Success Advisor about submitting a Change of Catalog Year request.

Only specific courses satisfy the major requirements, including electives. Courses should be chosen carefully, in consultation with the Departmental Faculty Advisor and your Student Success advisor.
