Academic Advisor

The Freshman Foundation is the first General Studies component. Under this component, you take four Freshman Foundation courses:

• First Year Seminar (GSR 101)
• Critical Reading and Writing (GSR 102)
• American Sign Language and Deaf Studies (GSR 103)
• Quantitative Reasoning course (GSR 104)

The four foundation courses will give you the fundamental tools to progress toward the five competencies. You will improve your communication and problem-solving skills and start thinking about your own identity and college life. The four courses will have linked content.
