<p>I must be missing where they state that English majors have priority for writing workshops (I know other schools have this policy), all I can find is this reference during a discussion of the Writing Concentration:</p>
<p>[Department</a> of English | Yale University](<a href=“Welcome | English”>Welcome | English)</p>
<p>"Many students take a creative writing course or two as part of larger study in the liberal arts, or they take English 120, “Reading and Writing the Modern Essay,” or Yale’s famous course, “Daily Themes,” in which students write 300 words daily and attend a weekly lecture and weekly tutorial to test their non-fiction powers or improve their writing fluency.</p>
<p>Writing Workshops are open to all students on the basis of the instructor’s judgment of their work. Instructions for the submission of writing samples for admission to creative writing seminars and workshops are available in LC 107. Students may in some cases arrange a tutorial in writing (English 470), normally after having taken intermediate and advanced writing courses. All students interested in creative writing courses should also consult the current listing of residential college seminars."</p>
