WHAT IS FOCUS?

Focus On Completing Undergraduate Studies (FOCUS) offers accelerated general education courses from across the curriculum in the College of Arts and Sciences.  Students may enroll in FOCUS courses only with the approval of a faculty advisor and the chair of the department offering the course.

FOCUS is one way for students to meet their general education requirements or take general education electives in order to satisfy the university's graduation standards.  M.A.T. students with completed applications and advisor approvals may enroll ONLY to complete current general education deficiencies.

While FOCUS is an intense delivery model designed for those who understand the rigors of accelerated coursework, it can be an efficient and effective way for serious students to complete their degree.

Since FOCUS courses are offered in an accelerated format, additional out-of-class assignments, advanced preparation, and specific assessment scores may be required.  Additional information and course schedules can be found at http://www.nl.edu/courseschedule/
