Why are most undergraduates at the University of Pittsburgh required to take Seminar in Composition (SC)?
To excel in your academic career and beyond, you must develop sound writing, reading, and discussion skills. SC has been designed to help undergraduates who are beginning their work at the University become more engaged, imaginative, and disciplined composers. Your SC experiences will better equip you to handle complex subjects thoughtfully and to use sources responsibly. Even if you have already had considerable writing experience in high school, you will encounter new challenges in SC as a writer, reader, and thinker. Honors College sections are available for students with strong basic skills who are seeking a more intensive Seminar in Composition experience.
