W Course Pioneers
Fall 2004 marked the inauguration of Texas A&M’s new writing-intensive course requirement for undergraduates. The courses that fulfill this requirement—referred to as W courses—are central to A&M’s increased emphasis on writing in all colleges. W courses must be approved by the W Course Advisory Committee, the Core Curriculum Council, and the Faculty Senate.
The members of the W Course Advisory Committee would like to acknowledge the following faculty members—the first to win full approval for their W course proposals—for their commitment to making writing a priority at Texas A&M.
