Written Communication: Fulfilling the Writing Intensive (WI) Requirement
Students can fulfill the WI requirement by completing six hours of courses designated as Writing Intensive with a grade of “C” or higher in the writing assignments.
- At least three hours of Writing Intensive courses must be at the 300-400 level. (Completing English 102 with a grade of “C” or higher is a prerequisite for registering for any Writing Intensive course.)
- Students who have completed one 200-level literature course (English 200-215) to meet the Liberal Arts Requirements may fulfill three hours of the WI requirement by earning a “C” or better in a second 200-level literature course (English 200-215) or in an upper-level foreign language literature class (RUS 401 or 402, or SPA 403 or 404).
- All courses used to satisfy the Writing Intensive requirement must be taken at Ferrum College. Students who wish to transfer courses specifically designated as writing intensive at other institutions may appeal to the Dean of the School of Arts and Humanities.
- The list of Writing Intensive courses may vary from year to year; courses that can fulfill the requirement are not limited to those listed in the student’s catalog year of entry.
