Multidisciplinary Studies: Middle-Level English Language Arts, Social Studies Specialization, B.S.

About the B.S. in Multidisciplinary Studies

Communication Literacy Requirement

Students attending Texas Tech University for the first time in the Fall 2017 term or later will complete a Communication Literacy requirement in their program(s) of study.

Texas Tech University’s transition from the Writing Intensive requirement to the Communication Literacy requirement signals the university’s awareness that in addition to the fundamental role that writing plays in enabling students to explore, develop, focus, and organize a message, other types of communication must also be taught as appropriate for a student’s discipline. Throughout each program of study, then, students must be given ample opportunity to develop their skills in forms of communication central to that program.

Communication Literacy courses for the Multidisciplinary Studies major are EDEL 3300 , EDEL 4000 ; and EDLL 3352 .
