Writing Intensive
Writing Intensive courses have been specifically designed to give attention to developing writing ability while studying another subject matter. These courses are intended to familiarize students with the thought processes, structures, and styles associated with writing in the liberal arts.
You are required to complete two Writing Intensive courses from the list below. Some of these courses may also be used to fulfill Divisional Requirements and Minor Requirements. If one or more of these courses overlap with other requirements, you would receive credit only once; however, you would gain more elective credits because each course could be used to fulfill more than one requirement.
Transfer credit or test credits, such as Advanced Placement Credits, cannot be used to satisfy the Writing Intensive requirement. (Project Advance courses may be used to fulfill this requirement since they are Syracuse University courses.)

*Notes:
HNR courses are available to students in the Renee Crown Honors Program.
Credit will be given for only one of the following: PHI 107 or PHI 109.
Courses listed under “Other Schools and Colleges” may be used to fulfill the Writing Intensive Requirement, but they may not be counted toward the 65 credits in the Arts and Sciences needed for graduation unless the courses are cross-listed with the College of Arts and Sciences.
Writing Intensive courses have been specifically designed to give attention to developing writing ability while studying another subject matter. These courses are intended to familiarize students with the thought processes, structures, and styles associated with writing in the liberal arts.
You are required to complete two Writing Intensive courses from the list below. Some of these courses may also be used to fulfill Divisional Requirements and Minor Requirements. If one or more of these courses overlap with other requirements, you would receive credit only once; however, you would gain more elective credits because each course could be used to fulfill more than one requirement.
Transfer credit or test credits, such as Advanced Placement Credits, cannot be used to satisfy the Writing Intensive requirement. (Project Advance courses may be used to fulfill this requirement since they are Syracuse University courses.)
