I was looking at the requirements for nycom and it said 6 semester hrs of english. Does this include writing as well? I have 3 hrs from one english class and 3 hours from writing. I received my bachelor's last yr. should there be any problems?
 
I believe as long as your english courses combined equal 6hours of english then there is no worry. If you still concerned feel free to call the school your applying to ease your concerns.
 
I just wasn't sure whether English referred only to english literature classes or if it included writing classes like WRT101 and 102. But after surfing the web, it looks like composition courses count as well.
 
Are your classes specifically offered by the English department? This reminds me of when I took business statistics, it was offered by the math department so it counted as math statistics. If it is offered by english and they just say you need 6 hours of english credits you should be fine. So as long as the class is like ENGL XXXX
 
I took one EGL course (English literature) and one WRT (writing/composition) course. Shouldn't they both fall under english and then I should have satisfied my english requirement.
 
according to aacomas, i had 15 credits of english, and , every course which i designated as an english class, including ENG140 01 - Intro to Literature, RLC110 01 - Reading and Writing I, CCOM105 - WRITING FOR THE MEDIA, all counted.

i dont think it'll be a problem, because my RLC class sounds like what you're talking about with WRT.

:luck:

For the prerequisites, they are looking for what most colleges refer to in some way or another as Writing I and II. They really are not looking for lit classes. They are looking for you to take a writing intensive course in which you will learn to write at the college level. This is supposed to prepare you for situations such as the writing section on the MCAT.
