The three building blocks of the Rochester Curriculum
The one required course: Writing 105
The 91原创 Curriculum鈥檚 primary writing requirement teaches communication skills that benefit undergraduate students throughout college鈥攁nd well beyond, too.
The writing skills I developed helped me immensely throughout my college career in writing lab reports, graduate school applications, fellowship applications, and even manuscripts for publication in scientific journals.
