What is the Mid-Career Writing Assessment (MCWA)?
The MCWA is a university-wide assessment of your proficiency in college level writing. A grade of A or B in one of the following courses will satisfy this University writing proficiency requirement: English 102, English 108 (for ESL students), English 104H (for Honors students), or English 109H (for students earning a 4 or 5 on the AP exam). If you receive a grade of C or lower, you must meet with your Physiology academic advisor to determine the course of action needed to satisfy your MCWA requirement. Remember that completion of the MCWA is required in order to apply for admission to the Physiology major. Therefore, Physiology pre-major students should try to fulfill the MCWA before registering for Physiology upper-division courses.
