Writing Intensive Curriculum
Writing intensive courses (WIC) introduce students to the genres, purposes, audiences, content, and conventions of writing in their major. Student writers gain experience with the resources used in their field and the formats and documentation style used to communicate knowledge. Through inquiry-based writing in the discipline, students gain understanding and knowledge of disciplinary goals and concepts.
- Students should complete the Writing Foundations and Writing Elevation categories prior to enrolling in their major-specific WIC course.
This category is major-specific. Students should review their major requirements and complete the WIC course specific to their discipline.
