Common University Courses
You'll take classes in your major from the moment you arrive, along with preparatory courses such as University 101, COOP 101, and CIVC 101 to help you hit the ground running. These common university courses work to support your learning outcomes and goals. While not all first-year students will take all of these courses in their plan of study, the courses you do have will work to support the first-year learning objectives.
