Depth Requirement
WRTC students must complete a depth requirement in an area related to the WRTC concentration. A depth requirement is a set of courses outside the major that is designed to complement other components of the student's course of study and to support selected professional goals.
Students concentrating in TSC must satisfy a nine-hour minimum depth requirement. Six hours must be at the 300 and 400 level. Students should consult their major adviser for a list of eligible areas and courses. These nine credits may not be double-counted toward General Education requirements.
Courses not appearing on the list may be eligible for substitution if the adviser is consulted ahead of time. Students who are double majoring or minoring in areas outside WRTC will automatically satisfy the depth requirement if the major or minor area is approved for that concentration.
Students concentrating in writing and rhetoric must declare a minor to satisfy their depth requirement.
