Course of Study Curriculum
A Course of Study curriculum is comprised of modular
components. These are Core, General Education and Electives
modules.
Core Modules
Core modules define a particular course of study. They provide a
foundation in the discipline of study. Core modules for a given
course of study are compulsory for students pursuing the
particular course of study.
Pre-requisite Module
A Prerequisite module is one that must be taken before a
particular module or group of modules.
Co-requisite Module
This refers to a module which must be taken along with another
module.
General Education Modules
The philosophy of the general education component reflects the
University’s conviction that students should have foundation
knowledge in certain areas and be prepared for good citizenship
that will enable them to live in and contribute positively to an
ever-changing, diverse, and multi-cultural global society. These
modules aid in enhancing the learning experiences that will guide
students in their development and self-understanding. Academic
Writing 1 (COM1020) and Information Technology (INT1001)
are examples of general education modules.
