As of Fall 2003, NC State students take one four-hour writing course, ENG 101 Academic Writing and Research, in their first year to satisfy the freshman component of the General Education Requirements in Writing and Speaking. Students with lower placement scores take a two-course first-year sequence, ENG 100 and ENG 101. Students with exceptionally high placement scores may qualify for exemption or portfolio submission.
