Writing-Intensive Courses
The course number and Required Course Indicator (RCI) of Writing-Intensive
courses are important indicators of Core credit.
The courses on this list have numbers that begin with W or H and a
Required Course Indicator of WI. This means that they meet the Core
requirement for Writing-Intensive courses.
Other Writing-Intensive courses, not on this list, also meet one or two
other Core requirements. Their numbers begin with X (Core and Writing
Intensive), R (Studies in Race and Writing Intensive), or H (Honors),
and they are included in the lists of courses approved for each Core area.
They carry one of these Required Course Indicators (RCI):
- the RCI of the Core area they are in
- WR (Writing Intensive and Studies in Race)
- XA (The Arts, Studies in Race, and Writing Intensive)
- XC (American Culture, Studies in Race, and Writing Intensive)
- XN (Individual and Society, Studies in Race, and Writing Intensive)
- XS (International Studies, Studies in Race, and Writing Intensive).
Please note that non-Writing Intensive versions of Writing Intensive courses
may also be offered. They have the same course number and name as the
Writing Intensive course, but their number does not start with "W,"
they have not been designed to be writing-intensive, and they do not carry
Core Writing Intensive credit.
Courses that are underlined in this list are designated departmental
writing capstones. A writing capstone course is required in each
academic major. If more than one capstone is listed here for a
department, students in that major should consult their academic adviser about
the appropriate course(s) for them.
Courses in italics are no longer taught but still carry Core
Writing-Intensive credit for students who have taken them.
This is a comprehensive list of all approved Writing-Intensive
courses--they are not all offered each semester.
