What were the changes? Check all that apply. - Other--Text

We tightened the requirements for earning a Writing Minor and divided the minor into 3 tracks: Creative Writing, Academic Writing, and Professional Writing.

Do you foresee changes to the administrative, curricular, or support structures of the writing major, minor, or graduate programs at your institution over the next four years?

Yes

Feel free to explain any forthcoming changes.

In the past 4 years, both the number of students minoring in writing and the number of students graduating with the minor has tripled. At the same time, we have seen very large annual jumps in the size of the entering first-year class. Considering that the same faculty teach first-year writing and upper-level writing courses in the Writing Minor, and that the size of this faculty has not increased proportionally to the number of students we must serve, it appears likely that Writing Program members will not be able to continue teaching enough upper-level writing courses to sustain the Writing Minor at its current levels of enrollment. To address this crisis, we may need to either restructure or eliminate the Writing Minor.
