International Year One - Undergraduate Pathway - Media and Communications (4-Semester Pathway) Transfer to Bachelor of Arts - Writing and Communication Studies

Program Description

International Year One allows student to begin earning credits toward their degree even if they don’t meet the academic and English requirements for direct entry. They will receive additional support to help them succeed and progress to their degree path so they can graduate at the same time as direct entry students.

Students are intrigued by language and the power of writing. They want to use writing to make a difference. They know that writing matters: in how journalists make the news, in how people connect in communities, in how leaders lead. If that sounds like them, the Writing and Communication emphasis of the English major is for them! Writing Studies includes communication, rhetoric, social media studies, journalism, literacy and language, and community writing. It is a rapidly growing field and a vibrant part of the English Major at Drew, applying the close reading and critical thinking skills of the major to a broad array of public texts and contexts. They'll learn how language shapes what we know, believe, and do. They'll write to change the world.
