The University
Writing Requirement (from the Stanford
University Bulletin).
All instructors at Stanford University
expect students to express themselves effectively in speech and writing.
The Writing Requirement helps students meet those high expectations.
All candidates for the bachelor's degree,
regardless of the date of matriculation, must satisfy the writing requirement.
Transfer students are individually advised at the time of matriculation
by the Office of the Registrar's External Credit Evaluation section and,
if necessary, the Program in Writing and Rhetoric (PWR), as to their status
with regard to the requirement.
The current Writing and Rhetoric Requirement,
effective in 2003, includes courses at three levels. The first two levels
are described in more detail below. Writing-intensive that fulfill the
third level, the Writing in the Major (WIM) requirement, are designated
under individual department listings.
All undergraduates must satisfy the first
level Writing and Rhetoric requirement (WR 1) in one of three ways:
1. PWR 1: a course emphasizing writing and research-based argument.
2. Writing instruction in connection with the Structured Liberal Education
(SLE) program.
3. Transfer credit approved by the Registrar's External Credit Evaluation
office for this purpose.
All undergraduates must satisfy the second-level
Writing and Rhetoric requirement (WR 2) in one of three ways:
1. PWR 2: a course emphasizing writing,
research, and oral presentation.
2. A course offered through a department or program certified as meeting
the WR 2 requirement by the Writing and Rhetoric Governance Board. These
courses will be designated as DWR 2.
3. Transfer credit approved by the Registrar's External Credit Evaluation
office for this purpose.
For a full description of the Program
in Writing and Rhetoric (PWR) and a complete listing of PWR 1 and PWR
2 courses, see the PWR web site at http://pwr.stanford.edu.
