In FYP you select one unit whose courses bridge several disciplines. Units F1 - F9 each include a section of English Composition. Unit FX is intended for students who have satisfied the requirement for English 1. Most of these courses satisfy core, major and University requirements for the B.A., B.F.A. and B.B.A. degrees. Instructors in all your classes closely coordinate their assignments and lectures so that the subject matter you read and write about touches directly on the theme you have chosen.
University courses can seem to be a collection of disconnected subjects or disciplines.
In FYP you will take courses in different disciplines, but they will be interrelated and designed to reinforce each other. By fulfilling assignments that at times will satisfy more than one course, you will see how different areas of knowledge overlap and fit together. And by sharing experiences with others in your unit, you will learn in a mutually supportive community. FYP eases the transition from high school to college by organizing units of study into no more than 35 first-year students, with English Composition classes limited to 18. Each unit consists of three courses, so you can round out your first semester's schedule with other classes that interest you.
