Communication Literacy is a two-course writing sequence recognizing that you communicate in a diverse world that is textual, digital, and highly visual.
The first course establishes strong foundations in writing, rhetoric, and oral and visual communication, while developing strategies to organize, evaluate and manage enormous quantities of information.
ENG 105 is approved to meet Communication Literacy 1 (CL1).
Communication Literacy 2 (CL2) adopts a “writing in the disciplines” model that transmits the skills required to develop a professional voice through opportunities to write on substantive issues arising from the major.
Some majors require students to take a specific CL2 course as part of their major requirements. Please consult your program requirements.
This course provides a basis for you to develop skills in mathematical and quantitative literacy, especially those skills that apply to issues arising in everyday life.
Scientific Literacy and Inquiry courses are designed to promote scientific literacy. Students must complete a minimum of 2 courses totaling at least 7 credits, including a lab. Laboratory courses must be from the same subject area as one of the completed lecture courses.
Cultural competence is a foundational skill that every student should be able to demonstrate prior to graduation. As such, Diversity in the United States courses serve to equip you with the cultural knowledge and awareness necessary to live, work and create with the diverse groups that characterize the United States.
This requirement will be satisfied within the Pathways.
