Written and Oral Intensives Requirements
Requirements: 2 each
All Iona University students are required to complete two (2) Written Intensive (WI) and two (2) Oral Intensive (OI) courses as part of their degree requirements. A single course could be designated both WI and OI, and such a course would count toward both requirements! Neither the Columba Cornerstone nor ENG 120/ENG 122 fulfills this requirement.
