MU's THREE-PART WRITING REQUIREMENT
Through the English Department: English 1000, a one-semester, first-year composition course.
Through the Campus Writing Program: Six WI credit hours (typically 2 WI courses).
Three WI credit hours may be taken in any discipline; the other 3 must be at an upper-division in the major. The Campus Writing Board reviews and approves courses as writing-intensive. Departments, not the Campus Writing Board, determine which WI courses may count as "upper-division courses in the major."

A grade of C- or better is required in English 1000 or 1000H, as well as in the Writing Intensive courses, in order to meet MU's General Education Requirements.

Note: According to the Coordinating Board of Higher Education Articulation Agreement, students who transfer to MU with an AA degree have fulfilled the "first" WI course and need to take only the "second," upper-division in-the-major WI course.
