Writing Intensive Courses News and Information

The College requires all of its students to take two courses that have been designated as writing intensive (WI), and at least one of these courses must be in the student’s major department. The WI Committee has been charged with the task of reviewing courses proposed for WI credit, helping departments and faculty develop courses appropriate to their disciplines and reporting to the Dean and the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee on the implementation of this aspect of the General Education requirement.

Writing intensive courses may be one, two or three credit upper level courses and should have ENGL 200 as a prerequisite. The guidelines for these courses were adopted by the Faculty Council of the College in 1997.
