Writing Intensive Course
One of the courses taken in Arts & Sciences must be a writing-intensive course. After completing
LAN 101 with a C-range or higher final grade standing, students will take a course designated as writing intensive to apply the writing skills learned in
LAN 101. This course will be integrated into a student's curriculum (e.g., HIS, LIT, LAN, elective, or other). The content of a writing-intensive course remains similar to traditional offerings. However, designated writing-intensive courses vary in the types of assignments, amount and weight of attention given to student writing, and class size.
