Writing Program
The Writing Program at Middlesex Community College prepares students to become skilled writers, readers and thinkers. Based on their placement, incoming students may start at any of the following levels:
- English Language Learner (ELL courses, for multilingual students still gaining college level skills in written English)
- Reading, Writing, and Reasoning (ENG 092, for students who need more support in college level reading)
- Accelerated Learning Program (ENG 099/101, for students who are ready to take English Composition 1 but require an additional support course alongside it)
- English Composition 1 (ENG 101, for students who are ready to take college level writing without any support course)
- Honors English Composition 1 (ENG 101-Honors, for high achieving students who had at least a 3.2 high school GPA, or a verbal SAT score of 600 or a combined SAT score of 1150, or who take the English Accuplacer test and place into Honors)
Once students successfully complete ENG 101-Composition 1 with a C- or better, they will progress to ENG 102-English Composition 2, which is the last required Composition course.
