Students are required to complete two courses designated as writing intensive, including at least one in the department of the major course of study. Students may choose to take the other as a course that satisfies core curriculum or as an elective. All departments offer at least one writing-intensive course, identified in the Schedule of Classes with a Q in the section number.
The Writing across the Curriculum requirement reinforces writing skills attained in composition courses. Each writing-intensive course requires students to undertake substantive writing assignments that are evaluated not only on content but also on issues of grammar, organization, and rhetoric. Writing-intensive courses emphasize drafting, revision, and critical feedback.
