Welcome to the online home of the Writing Across the Curriculum
Program. . There are areas with information of particular
interest to Students, Faculty, and Administrators.
The mission of the Writing Across the Curriculum program is
to promote, support, and assess the teaching of writing at Rutgers-Newark,
in all academic departments.
Most visibly, the Writing Across the Curriculum Program
oversees the designation and offering of “Writing
Intensive” courses in all academic departments. In
Fall 2001, Rutgers-Newark instituted a Writing Across the
Curriculum requirement for all students who enrolled in
that semester or later, and the WAC Program assists departments
in making available the courses necessary for students to
fulfill their responsibility to continue to hone their writing
skills after they have completed the English composition
sequence. Because different academic disciplines write in
different ways, one of these courses must be in the student’s
major; students need to learn how professionals in their
chosen fields approach the challenge of writing.
