With more than thirty writing courses each semester, Gallatin students have the opportunity to engage in diverse genres and writing practices.
First-Year Writing and Research Seminars use writing to explore a particular theme while helping students to develop their critical writing skills. Recent examples include “Philosophical Approaches to Identity," "Intellectual History of Capitalism," and "Introduction to Trans Studies."
After taking the foundation courses, Gallatin students may choose from a rich variety of Advanced Writing Courses including fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, comedy-writing, and documentary-writing, as well inter-genre, theme-based writing courses.
