Institutions in the USA with WAC/WID Programs |
|
The following is a partial list of four-year colleges and universities in the USA which have some version of writing-across-the-curriculum (wac) or writing-in-the disciplines (wid) programs at the present moment. I have compiled it informally because I have been unable to find any recent official statistics. I used leads such as colleagues, lists of wac/wid programs, and was/wid literature, and I have confirmed the existence of a wac/wid program by consulting web sites. Some of the programs listed have voluntary participation; others require it. Some programs concentrate on lower-division courses taught in English or Communications, while others concentrate on upper-level courses taught in the major. There are many versions in-between as well.
The most recent numbers I have found on wac/wid participation are from 1988, when Susan McLeod (Strengthening Programs for Writing Across the Curriculum. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 1988) conducted a survey including 2-year and 4-colleges and got 1,112 responses in the US and Canada: 38% had a writing-across-the curriculum program of some sort. More recently, McLeod estimates that 50% now have some form of writing-across-the-curriculum in place (WAC in the New Millenium).

Tidbits

"As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg carburetors in his vintage Triumph Spitfire, highly functional yet pleasingly formed, perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for experienced hands, the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and adjusted as described in chapter seven of the shop manual." — 2005 winner Dan McKay, Fargo, N.D.
