This study aims to provide an overview of first-year composition programs in U.S. universities, including both their origin and development as well as their current status and future. While the former is examined through literature review, the latter is explored through a survey of coordinators and directors of writing programs in U.S. universities. The results of these investigations reveal that the first-year composition program is a product of U.S. universities’ continuous efforts to deal with new types of students in every stage of its history since the late 19th century. This investigation of writing programs in U.S. universities can serve as a base for future research, including how English writing programs have developed in Korea and where they should go in the future.
