Writing Across the Curriculum

Writing Across the Curriculum is a resource for faculty, departments and programs teaching with writing.

Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) provides professional development opportunities for faculty and consultation to departments and programs as they seek to achieve student learning outcomes in courses and in undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. Central to the WAC mission are the beliefs that writing is a tool for learning and that the ability to write in various contexts draws on multiple knowledge areas and develops through repeated practice over time.
