English requirement

Hi, I know many medical schools have a year long English requirement. Is this writing/composition or literature or either? And do the courses have to be related (i.e, will one semester of lit and one of comp satisfy it, or do they both need to be comp)
Any help is appreciated :slight_smile:

Two semesters of writing or writing intensive classes.

Not creative writing. Not literature.

Some med schools specifically require the courses to be listed as ENG; other med schools will allow courses from other departments so long as your undergraduate designates them as fulfilling the college’s writing requirement.
