In addition to courses required for the graduate concentration in writing studies, CWS graduate students may take courses in other departments, including sociology, anthropology, and gender and women's studies.

To that end, each semester the Center's assistant directors put together a list of recommended CWS courses. While not an official list of all courses that will count toward or are required for fulfilling the writing studies graduate concentration, these lists are resources for (CWS) graduate students to consider potential classes that might be useful across disciplines. 

Please click here for more information on CWS graduate concentration coursework requirements. Keep in mind that you might have to contact instructors directly for information about course availability, prerequisites, or overriding registration requirements. And finally, graduate students should consult with their advisors before registering for courses outside of their home department.

Here are the most recent lists of CWS recommended courses: 

• Spring 2022
• Spring 2021
