New requirement ensures students acquire discipline-based writing experience

Before they graduate, students at UC Santa Cruz will receive high-level writing instruction tailored to their field of study, preparing them for the demands of an increasingly professional workforce.

UCSC faculty unanimously approved a proposal to enhance undergraduate education by requiring students to acquire five credits in writing-intensive classes appropriate to their academic discipline during their junior or senior year. This is in addition to writing-intensive core courses students are required to take as frosh and sophomores.
