Writing Across The Curriculum At The City University Of New York

Abstract

The City University of New York appreciates that advanced writing ability is the distinguishing feature of an all-encompassing college education and that this ability can only be developed through extensive writing practice, fostered across an array of academic disciplines.  In 1999 CUNY launched a major five year University initiative intended to both concentrate efforts and broaden the scope of the City University of New York’s endeavor to teach writing in courses across the curriculum.
