The College of Liberal Arts Writing Requirement
One component of Drew’s general education breadth program is a writing requirement, which should be satisfied by the end of a student’s first year at Drew. Students may use Advanced Placement English Language and Composition to satisfy the requirement if they scored 4 or 5 on the examination. The majority of students satisfy the requirement at Drew according to the policy below.
Students who are transferring from a 4-year or 2-year institution and who have been awarded transfer credit for a 3 or 4 credit composition course have fulfilled the College Writing requirement. However, it is recommended that students who have not written papers longer than 3 or 4 pages include a writing- intensive [WI] course in their program as soon as possible.
Students who have not taken a composition course must complete the college writing requirement either by taking ENGL I or ENGL 2 in Spring 2010 or by completing one writing-intensive [WI] and the appropriate Writing in the Major [WM] course by graduation.
