Each year, the Princeton Writing Program offers over a hundred topic-based writing seminars of 12 students each. Every Princeton freshman, without exception, is required to complete a writing seminar in fulfillment of the University writing requirement.
Writing seminar faculty number 45-50 and are a diverse group. They include post-doctoral lecturers recruited in a national search effort to teach full-time in the Program, as well as Princeton professors from a range of academic departments, qualified Princeton administrators and staff, and Princeton graduate students with DCE status. For full-time lecturers, the course load is two seminars per term, typically on the same topic; for Princeton graduate students, it’s one seminar per term; for all others, it’s one seminar per academic year.
