• The most visible component of WAC are the writing-intensive requirement in the major and the advanced composition in the disciplines (English 302) requirement--both of which affect almost all undergraduates--as well as the writing-infused, integrative curricula of New Century College and the Honors Program.
• Less visible, but no less important, are the teaching practices faculty across the disciplines employ to work with writers and writing in their courses.
• Good teaching practice is reinforced by Writing@Center, a WAC/Writing Center publication, faculty development workshops and brown bag discussions, and the University Writing Center, which provides vital support for the use of writing in all of these venues. (Click HERE for faculty and student resources at the Writing Center.)
• The English Composition Program also supports WAC through its general education requirements: freshman composition and the writing-intensive 200-level literature requirements. In addition, the Northern Virginia Writing Project, housed at the University, supports writing across the curriculum in elementary, middle and secondary schools. George Mason University is also the home site of the National Network of WAC Programs.
