The Writing-Intensive Course Committee is responsible for overseeing the writing-intensive course program. The WICC reviews and approves all proposals for writing-intensive courses; drafts policies for the w-course program, including the w-course guidelines; and assesses the w-course program.

The Committee is comprised of faculty members from across the schools and colleges. These faculty serve three-year terms. The Committee also includes ex-officio representatives from the GenEd program, the First-Year Writing program, Charles Library, and the Writing Center.
