The program can be completed through seated, hybrid or fully online coursework. Students must earn a grade of C- or better for courses to count toward the General Studies major.

These will be primarily courses in which students read or write fiction, 非小说类, 诗歌, 首歌, 戏剧, 文学批评, 新闻, 和/或剧本, but will also include courses that teach students how to analyze literature and other texts from a variety of theoretical perspectives. Although all courses in the department of 英语 might count toward the focus area, "文学 and Writing" will also include courses from other departments that teach students how to write creatively and/or analyze literature.
