Writing Intensive Course Requirement (WIC)

PVCC believes in the value of writing as a tool for learning and as a tool for Communicating. Graduates of AA, AS, and AAS degrees must be ready to meet the writing expectations of the workplace and transfer institutions. A Writing Intensive Course (WIC) requirement is part of each AA, AS, and AAS degree program. Students must have successfully completed English 111 and English 112 before taking the Writing Intensive Course (WIC) that will fulfill the writing intensive requirement for their program. Courses that meet the Writing Intensive Course (WIC) requirement will include various writing activities designed to improve both writing and knowledge of course content. Students entering all associate degree programs are required to take one Writing Intensive Course in order to graduate. All Writing Intensive Courses have an ENG 111  and ENG 112  prerequisite.
