Overview

All General Studies Program students will be enrolled in a minimum of 17 credit hours each semester (fall and spring).

In their General Studies Program year, students take a combination of introductory major courses, General Studies-specific courses, and courses which fulfill NUpath (core) requirements. Some students may also take seminars, labs, and studios for additional credits, depending on their major or major track. The General Studies specific courses include the first-year seminars and introductory writing courses.

Advisors will create a fall schedule based on student interests, then during orientation, each student will have an opportunity to meet with their advisor one-on-one to review and adjust this schedule as needed. GSP works closely with the athletics department to build class schedules around practice and travel schedules.
