Writing Intensive Program
Writing Intensive Program
Students in all majors are required to take at least one course that is designated as writing intensive in their major area of study. In their writing intensive course, students practice the writing process and draft projects that are specific to their disciplines so that they become familiar with the types and rules of writing done in their field. Examples of writing intensive courses include SMA300: Numerical Analysis (Math), SCH331: Thermodynamics Lab (Chemistry), and SED245: Functions of the Special Education Classroom (Education).
