The Literature and Writing Studies Department values the close relationship between literature, reading, and writing and requires majors to take courses that specialize both in literature and in writing. Three- and four-hundred level courses may be taken with junior standing, or with consent of the instructor. In keeping with the multicultural and interdisciplinary philosophy of Cal State San Marcos' Mission Statement, the Literature and Writing Studies major provides students with a global literary experience, which may be best described under the general rubric of "cultural studies." In its broadest sense, this term implies that literature and other cultural artifacts are studied as reflections and expressions of the cultures that value them. Studied in this context, literature is viewed not only in terms of its form and style, its relation to previous traditions and genres, its rhetoric and language, but in terms of its use in constructing social and cultural identities.
The LTWR major also provides directed experience in writing expository prose, fiction, poetry for various media or professional audiences, as well as intensive work in practical criticism and rhetorical theory. An integral feature of the program is to place emphasis on student interaction through peer-groups. Students who are developing themselves as writers will regularly find courses offered in various genres to develop their own style and breadth of experience in composition and criticism. Those interested in the teaching of writing will find the major a context both for writing extensively and for dealing critically with the act of written composition.
