Writing-Intensive Course Requirements
In order to graduate, all students must pass three writing-intensive courses
after their freshman year. Two writing-intensive courses must be
in a student's major. The third can be in any discipline. Students
are advised to take one writing-intensive class each year, beginning
with the sophomore year, and to avoid “clustering” these courses
near the end of their matriculation. Transfer students need to meet
with an academic advisor to review the number of writing-intensive
courses required to graduate.
A "WI" next to a course in this catalog may indicate that
this course can fulfill a writing-intensive requirement. For the most up-to-date list of writing-intensive courses being offered, students should check the Writing Intensive Course List on the Drexel University Writing Center page. Students scheduling their courses in Banner/DrexelOne can also
conduct a search for courses with the attribute "WI" to
bring up a list of all writing-intensive courses available that
term.
