All Writing and Rhetoric including CS + W&R majors are required to take one EL-designated course within the major. WRD courses designated both EL and LSP EL will fulfill the major’s EL requirement and the Liberal Studies Experiential Learning requirement simultaneously. An LSP EL course taken outside of WRD will not count toward the EL major requirement.
