Fundamental Studies courses help you strengthen the mathematical and writing skills you will need to communicate effectively in your university courses and in the modern world. Building your career and future without the powerful tools of mathematics and writing can be as tough as driving nails with your bare hands.

The Introduction to Writing and Mathematics requirements must be attempted by the time the student has reached the 30-credit level and must be successfully completed by the time the student has reached the 60-credit level. The Professional Writing requirement may be taken only when the student has reached the 60-credit level or higher.

The Fundamental Studies requirement is nine credits as follows:

I. English Composition (6 credits, 2 courses)

II. Mathematics (3 credits, 1 course)
