Freshman Seminars

Writing Program faculty teach a number of freshman seminars and function as freshman advisers. These courses are organized thematically. They introduce students to a specific dimension of writing as a field, such as autobiography or creative non-fiction, while they simultaneously help students improve their own writing skills.
