Overview
This program is offered with the John S. Knight Institute for Writing in the Disciplines, one of the nation's oldest and most comprehensive writing-across-the-curriculum programs. Its excellence was recognized when the Time/Princeton Review chose Cornell as its private research university "College of the Year" on the basis of its teaching students "how to use writing as a way to learn and think."
You'll gain intensive writing experience while considering a variety of topics. Previous years' topics have ranged from Shakespeare and film to civil disobedience and personal experience. The four courses highlighted below feature small sections (eighteen students or fewer) and personalized instruction by faculty in the planning, composition, and revision of papers based on assigned readings and discussions.
You'll also have access to individual tutoring through the writing program's Summer Walk-In Service.
Note: English 1131 and 1132 are First-Year Writing Seminars and are accepted for undergraduate credit in Cornell degree programs and/or also apply toward Cornell's first-year writing requirements.
To be eligible for this program, you must have completed your junior or senior year of high school by June 2009.
