The First-year Rhetoric and Writing Program views the liberal arts tradition of studying language, rhetoric, and multimodal discourses as foundational to ethical and reflective written communication in personal, academic, professional, and civic life. Writing courses in the General Education Written Communication Area requirement (LVWA and LVWB) are designed to introduce writing processes, audience-based communication, and research writing as fundamental to lifelong learning. Students must complete all Writing courses with a grade of C- or higher to pass.
