The “Effective Writing” courses required in this program will give them a solid foundation for the extensive amount of written work they face in courses they take throughout their university career. “Understanding the Contemporary World” will guide them into thinking critically while examining a variety of topics from several points of view. Students will receive attention to help them achieve academic success and the possibility for success after graduation.
Students in the Discovery Program (undeclared majors) must take 01-120 Understanding the Contemporary World and 01-150 Effective Writing in the Fall Semester of their first year, and 01-151 Effective Writing II in the subsequent semester.
