Writing Intensive Curriculum (WIC)

The SSU faculty and the GWAR Program have authorized a set of writing-intensive curriculum courses aimed at supporting students' writing abilities across the curriculum and meeting the CSU's Graduation Writing Assessment Requirement (GWAR). Most CSUs have course-based options for the upper-division writing proficiency requirement. Look for these courses as you register for classes. In the searchable schedule, use the "Course Attribute" field to search for WIC courses.

NOTE: Some of these courses are major courses with associated prerequisites, while others are GE courses. While we have provided this information in the tables below, we recommend that you also check the course specifications carefully.

For more information about WIC Courses, please see the FAQs at the bottom of the page.

Be aware that only the course sections listed below are authorized WIC courses. Please register for the specific section taught by the faculty listed below.
