Entering students with AP English credit are strongly encouraged to take a First-Year Writing course (Wrtg 150,
Honrs 150, or Phil 150). Studies show that doing so contributes greatly to their success at the university. As
part of their major requirements, some departments also require a First-Year Writing course even for students
with AP English credit.
