Writing in the Disciplines Requirement
Because learning to write clearly and effectively in one’s chosen discipline is integral to both academic and career success, after satisfying the first-year writing requirement all students shall complete at least three credits of writing instruction appropriate to their major. Each major determines the form of writing instruction best suited to its discipline, to be provided through coursework required for completion of the major. Credits for this coursework are generally a part of the major; in certain circumstances they may be counted in a minor or in General Education. Students should consult their advisor or curriculum sheet for major-specific information about the WID requirement.
The WID requirement is currently being implemented in each undergraduate program. Full implementation will be complete by Fall 2026.
