The BCC General Education Writing Requirement

Approximately fifty courses have been designated "writing emphasis" ("W") offerings. In these courses, writing about the subject matter being studied is an integral part both of the learning process and the course objectives. To fulfill General Education requirements, students must complete 2 writing emphasis ("W") courses. These "W" courses are typically taken after completing ENG 110 and before enrolling in ENG 220.  Please check with your advisor when you should take your W courses. Students should consult the Master Schedule at each registration period, as well as their advisors, in choosing "W" courses.

Writing Emphasis Module

The independently arranged "w" course module is intended for students preparing to graduate who, through oversight or scheduling problems, lack the required two "W" (writing-emphasis) courses. Transfer Students who have completed general education courses at another institution but not in "W" modes could avail themselves of the "W" module to fulfill "W" requirements, in some instances. "Hardship" cases for a "W" module shall be limited to students in their last semester who intend to graduate and who have met all other graduation requirements at the end of that semester. This module is not intended to act as a substitute for a department's or curriculum's "W" course. It does not exempt students from trying to fulfill "W" requirements.
