Core Discovery Courses
A Core Discovery course is every new student’s first academic community. In these courses students learn to understand the academic expectations of the university and they build friendships that may last until graduation and beyond. Unlike most other classes, Core Discovery courses last the entire year so students get to know their classmates and instructor very well. Core Discovery courses:
- Complete seven of the 18 credits needed to fulfill General Core Studies requirements
- Are among the smallest courses first-year students take
- Focus on college-level critical thinking, reading, communicating and other important skills
- Encourage group work
- Deeply explore interesting topics
- Encourage open, respectful class discussion and sharing ideas
