Effective for students entering fall term 2009 and thereafter, all students seeking baccalaureate degrees are required to pass two Critical Thinking through Writing (CTW) courses in their majors. Students should consult the section of this Catalog that describes their major for its CTW requirements. CTW classes are unique to Georgia State University, and therefore students cannot transfer equivalent credit from other universities.
In the 2010/2011 Academic Year, GSU offered 546 sections of 112 CTW approved courses which enrolled 9772 students. These courses were instructed by 252 CTW trained faculty members and assisted by 96 graduate student writing tutors. The program offered 16 CTW workshops for our 56 departmental representatives and 2 days of workshops for graduate student consultants working with the CTW courses. For more information on CTW accomplishments in 2010/2011, please visit the CTW Annual Report page.
