Communication Literacy Requirement. Students attending Texas Tech University for the first time in the Fall 2017 term or later will complete a Communication Literacy (CL) 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

Students with a concentration in German must complete five Communication Literacy (CL) courses, including two at the 3000-level, and three at the 4000-level, from GERM 3301 , GERM 3303 , GERM 3304 , GERM 3306 , GERM 4303 , and GERM 4305 . The department requires students with a minor in German to take two CL courses at the 3000-level.
