Proposing Foundations Courses

In general, Foundation courses are limited to those offered by the departments of English, Mathematics, Statistics, and World Languages and Literatures.

Foundations are entry-level, Freshman courses, offered to all students, and they meet the requirements for specific Foundation requirements (Quantitative Reasoning, the Second Language Requirement, Academic Writing, and Critical Reasoning). 

One exception to this is WRTR 1313 courses, which focus on critical reasoning. The Department of English has developed a template for these courses and is developing training to allow other faculty to propose and teach sections of these courses. 

No, Foundation courses may not carry other Common Curriculum tags.
