What makes a Signature Course Unique?

The Signature Course (UGS 302 and 303) introduces you to college-level learning through a myriad of subjects and topics. These classes range from the arts and humanities to the hard sciences, but every class has unique components that will help you throughout your college career and beyond. The Signature Course:

• puts you in contact with top faculty from across the university
• helps guide you as you strive to become a better writer, speaker, and problem solver
• assists students in using research methods and critical thinking skills that are necessary to perform well in all of your other courses
• familiarizes you with the gems of the university
• engages you in a university-wide academic event
