Students are required to complete two courses at Rutgers University-Newark 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 the 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 and are typically upper level. 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.
