  • First-year Religion and Writing are two separate courses with each course offering multiple section choices. Each section is taught by a different instructor and will have a varied theme of study. Students will review section descriptions and submit your section preferences using web pre-registration process.

Every effort will be made to register you for a section of your choice. Remember, though, class size is small, and possible conflicts with other courses may restrict these choices so please remain open to alternatives.
