The WRTC major is designed to provide students the flexibility to choose electives that fit their interests and future plans. The major includes five advising tracks: Professional Writing and Publishing; Writing for Law and Society; Science and Health Writing; Inclusive Design; and Build Your Own Track. WRTC advisors can provide students with information about the advising tracks to assist with elective course selection; however, no specific grouping of electives is required to complete the major.
