New Core

Each Foundations Course places a heavy emphasis on reading “transformative texts” that help students see the world in a new way and on writing as a critical skill for both for communicating new ideas and for creative problem solving. Students must complete one of the listed courses (3 credit hours) to complete the core requirement.
