Below is a typical schedule for eight semesters. This should be considered only a general guide, not a rigid schedule. Students should consult with their advisers to plot out the best path given their interests and academic strengths. This sample course sequence is intended to help you plan, but you must check your degree audit every semester to track your progress toward satisfying all of your degree requirements. The semester hours (S.H.) are noted for each term.

NOTES
* You are not required to take Summer or January courses (for which there is no financial aid). You can complete your degree of 124 credits taking five 3-credit courses every semester, including thirty credits of Writing Studies classes.
* WSC 001 and WSC 002 fulfill a separate university requirement for graduation and do not count towards completion of the Writing Studies major.
* WSC 110, however, does fulfill both the University’s second-semester composition requirement and the major in Writing Studies.
* WSC 104 satisfies the requirement for Area 1, Introduction to the Field, and is required of all majors. WSC 104 can be taken at any time, but it is recommended that students complete it as early as possible.
* Some Writing Studies & Rhetoric courses (AP/IB/Transfer) taken prior to Hofstra can count toward the major.
* Non-Writing Studies & Rhetoric courses taken prior to your first year can count toward general education requirements or elective credits, whether taken at Hofstra or elsewhere.
* The Department strongly encourages study of a foreign language beyond Level 3.
* Students are encouraged to consider a minor or double major another discipline. The Writing Studies major complements all fields of study.
*The last 30 credits must be taken in residence
