English requirement?

[aHealthNut]

Hi all,

I see that many schools require a year of English for admission requirements. My question specifically is would a year of writing classes count towards that (writing 1 and technical writing) and/or AP high school credit? Cuz ain't nobody got time for adding in random English classes (especially as an engineer...).

I should certainly think that would count. Writing does qualify as English haha. From the AACPMAS website, the following counts as English:

English: **

• Composition
• Debate
• Dramatics
• English
• Journalism
• Literature
• Medical Terminology
• Mythology
• Oral Communication
• Poetry
• Public Speaking
• Reading Skills
• Rhetoric
• Speech
• Theater
• Writing Skills

Haha ok thank you for the super helpful info! The technical writing class was technically (see what I did there) an engineering class, but I assume it would fall under writing skills.
