Writing-Intensive Courses

WR Courses

All departments at Dickinson offer at least one WR course; most departments offer more than one.  Some disciplines prefer to meet the WR goals over two courses (see * below).  In addition, faculty will often choose to teach as WR a course not designated as such in The Bulletin.  These courses will be listed in the class schedule each semester.

The following is a list of courses that are always designated WR.
