University writing is a 1st year course, academic writing a 2nd year course. University writing, I think, helps students make the transition from high school to university, helps them write course papers, including lower division course papers. Academic writing is a broader category, which includes scholarly and scientific journal articles; students are presumably trying to master the genres of their chosen disciplines. Over to you, Janet, for the real answer. (I haven't taught either of these courses in several years now.) Rick
