<p>I need upper-division classes. Just that just mean ANY class that is considered upper-division? </p>
<p>And I also need An UPPER-DIVISIOn course certified as having a SUbstantial Writing Component. What class can I take for this? And what does this mean?</p>
<p>Thanks, if you understand the differences please let me know.</p>
<p>Yes, for upper division hours you can take any class which is upper division. </p>
<p>An upper division writing component is just that - an upper division course which is labeled as having a writing component. </p>
<p>Upper division classes look like this in the catalog. All departments follow the same pattern but I’m using math. </p>
<p>M 32X, with the X being any number. </p>
<p>A writing component class often has a W after it but not always. For example, again in the math department </p>
<p>M 175-W</p>
<p>On the main catalog search page for every semester, you can scan down and find the search entry for classes with a writing component. Any class listed there will work for you, whether it has a W after the class or not. </p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
<p>Each major really should have one upper division courses course that has a writing component to it, so you can do that upper division class with extra writing in your own field. (My D found a class that counted as an upper division writing class that also counted toward the U.S. history requirement. That was helpful.)</p>
