GSP Courses

General Studies Program students take two 1-credit seminars over the course of their first year.

These seminars meet once a week and are taught by the student’s academic advisor. Each seminar is assigned a peer mentor who can share their experience as a former General Studies student. The first-year seminar supports students in:

• course covers major exploration
• learning strategies
• habits for wellness
• campus resources

General Studies students take two 4-credit writing courses over the course of their first year.

Students will have the same instructor in the fall and spring, providing excellent opportunities for connection and growth. Incoming students who bring in AP, IB, or college transfer credit for one of the courses (most often ENGW1111) will have their schedules adjusted accordingly.
