- Essay Courses
Many courses at Western have a significant writing component. To recognize student achievement, a number of such courses have been designated as essay courses and will be identified on the student's record (E essay full course; F/G/Z essay half-course). Three-Year BA programs in Arts, Social Science or Kinesiology must include at least two designated essay courses, one of which must be senior (numbered 100-499). For students who declare an area of concentration in May 1995 or later, this senior essay course must be in their area of concentration. (Also see AREA OF CONCENTRATION in the PROGRAMS / PROGRESSION section ().) These two essay courses must be completed through The University of Western Ontario or through one of its affiliated colleges. Students are encouraged to take an essay course in first year.
