Students in FAHSS without a declared major participate in the Discovery Program which requires that they take the Effective Writing courses in the Fall and Winter terms as well as the GART-1200 (Understanding the Contemporary World) course in the Fall term.
Understanding the Contemporary World explores the connections between social and political contexts and various cultural forms such as fine art, literature, music, and popular culture with the aim of exploring various disciplines and subject areas while helping students develop their academic skills. Additional First Year support is provided in small tutorials to foster study skills and goal-setting and to provide information about campus resources.
As a part of the Discovery Program, Dr. Natalie Atkin is your Academic Advisor.
