Common Academic Questions
As you attempt to become familiar with the academic program, it is critical that you become familiar with both the curriculum and the academic resources available to you. This section of the New Student Programs web addresses questions like:
- What should I know about the F&M curriculum?
- Could you tell me more about Foundations courses?
- What is an Exploration?
- What should I know about academic advising?
We purposefully group these questions into categories for your convenience. They should make sense once you delve into the different sections. Please choose a section header from the sidebar at the left or select below to continue your exploration.
