Writing Minor
All writing courses in the minor should be taken in the Department of Writing or at the Ithaca College London Center. Exceptions: Students who receive generic writing credit for 200-level courses taken at other institutions (WRTG 28888) may count up to 6 of those credits toward the writing minor. Academic Writing I (WRTG 10600) and Ithaca College Seminars in Writing (ICSM 108xx, 118xx) do not count toward the writing minor. WRTG courses designated as ICC Themes and Perspectives courses cannot be used to fulfill writing minor requirements.
