Writing and Composition Courses

As a Dixie State College student, you will be required to develop your communication skills through writing classes. Generally speaking, you'll have to take three communication classes while you're here: English 1010, English 2010, and another communication course chosen from several options. If your writing skills are insufficient for English 1010, you will be placed in a preparatory class; on the other hand, if your skills are adequate, you may enter English 1010 directly. You'll probably want to take English 1010 during your freshman year and English 2010 during your sophomore year. Don't put this requirement off till your last semesters at Dixie.
