Writing Intensive Course
One of the courses taken in Arts & Sciences must be a writing intensive course. After completing LAN 101, and to put into practice the skills learned in that course, students will take a course designated as writing intensive. This course will serve as part of the students' curriculum (e.g., HIS, LIT, LAN, elective, or other). The content of a course remains largely the same whether the course is a traditional offering of the course or a writing intensive offering. The distinctions between a traditional offering and a writing intensive offering are the types of assignments, the amount and weight of attention given to student writing, and the size at which the class is capped. (Note - Students will receive credit for LAN 101 with a minimum score of 650 on the SAT critical reading section or a minimum score of 27 on the ACT English test. Students who earn a C+, C, or C- in English Composition will be required to take LAN 305 to fulfill their Writing Intensive requirements and prior to taking any additional Writing Intensive courses.)
