Students wishing to satisfy the writing requirement through an off-campus course must always submit a signed approval form. Since the HSA Department has no control over off-campus courses, it is possible that a previously approved course may fail to satisfy the requirement the next time that it is offered (or vice versa). Thus, to receive credit for the writing requirement, you must ascertain that the course meets the department's criteria in the semester in which you take the course.
As an aid to finding courses off campus that satisfy the requirement, the department maintains a list of those courses which have previously received approval. Again, it is possible that a course listed here will not satisfy the writing requirement in every future semester in which it is offered. There are additional off-campus courses that would satisfy the requirement. To identify these, you must contact the relevant instructors and inquire about the amount of formal graded writing in the course. We offer this list a starting point for investigation. (Departmental courses listed on the preceding page as having significant writing are assured to satisfy the writing required whenever they are offered and do not require an approval form.)
If you have further questions about the writing requirement, please speak with your HSA advisor or the Department's Advising Coordinator, Professor Paul Steinberg.
