Upper Division Writing

For the Honors Program, students complete a rigorous writing component during their 2L spring semester in the Integrated Criminal Practice course. Because of that writing component, students in the Honors Program are required to take only one upper division writing course. The two upper division writing courses currently approved for students in the Honors Program are Advanced Appellate Advocacy and Criminal Pre-Trial Practice and Procedure.
