School of Engineering
Writing Requirements
English 1 or
3 is an Introductory Course Requirement in the School of Engineering.
One semester of college writing
is required for graduation in the School of Engineering.
Engineering students must take either English 1 or English 3.
Students should plan on fulfilling this requirement in the fall
semester, when the majority of English 1 classes are offered. English 3 is only
offered in the fall.
Engineering students who have fulfilled their writing requirement are
welcome to register for upper level English classes for which "fulfillment of
the writing requirement" or "English 1 and 2" is a prerequisite.
Exemptions from Writing Requirement
Students in
the School of Engineering may receive a
pre-matriculation credit (listed below as a "Tufts credit") for English 1 from
certain standardized tests if they have met the criteria in the following table.
In this case the student is not required to take English 1 or 3.
Please note
that a high score on the SAT does not entitle a student to a Tufts credit
and therefore will not fulfill the
English 1 or 3 requirement for the School of Engineering.
It is the
student's responsibility to ensure that the results of standardized tests are
sent to Tufts and appear on their transcript.
Students should contact the Student Services desk in Dowling Hall
(617-627-2000) should they need assistance with this.
