WEC Courses Offered in SP17
Writing Enriched Curriculum (WEC) and College Writing Proficiency (CWP)
WEC courses use writing intentionally and creatively to enhance students’ learning.
Students who entered Goucher College in FA15 or later must take a WEC course in
any discipline. Ideally, you will take this course during your second year at
Goucher. Please note that we are continuing to add WEC courses; the following list
will help you choose. The Writing Program will offer many WEC courses, including
seven sections of WRT 281 in SP17.
After you complete WRT 181 and a WEC course in any discipline, you may apply to
earn College Writing Proficiency (CWP). CWP is a requirement for graduation at
Goucher. Please look for the Call for CWP Submissions early in SP17. At that time,
you will be invited to submit a portfolio of your writing.
If you have questions, please contact Phaye Poliakoff-Chen ([email protected]), the Writing Program Director.
