Fundamentals

Fundamentals courses assure that students are able to read and write critically, possess basic skills in quantitative reasoning and manipulation, and are familiar with information technology and its place in contemporary society.  In today's rapidly changing world, a university education must provide students with the tools to embark on a lifetime of learning.  In addition, such skills are essential for a successful college experience.  Therefore, with the exception of students who begin their Written English Program with DISC 1313, the 12 required semester hours in Fundamentals should ideally be completed during the first year.
