The University Writing Program provides comprehensive writing instruction. All undergraduates take UW 20, followed by two Writing in the Disciplines (WID) courses. These are regular, content-area courses that include a writing component and are offered by departments and programs throughout the University. Ideally, students will complete WID courses during their sophomore and junior years. Courses indicated with "W" in the Schedule of Classes fulfill the WID portion of University Writing Program requirements. WID courses must total a minimum of 6 credits.
