Core Curriculum Requirements
The core curriculum is the bedrock of the University of St. Thomas that focuses on educating the whole person and complementing their major and minor studies.
As an undergraduate student at St. Thomas, you will complete one English class in order to fulfill the Literature and Writing requirement in the core curriculum. This course is designed to help you read and write about literary texts critically and closely. You will practice various forms of writing for specific audiences and purposes, while reflecting on and developing critical awareness of your own strengths and weaknesses as a reader and writer.
We also offer an Introduction to Creative Writing course that will satisfy the Fine Arts requirement.
