(2) The student must complete a minimum of 30 unduplicated hours in a different major and a different degree (secondary major).
(3) The student must meet with both major department chairs to determine an individual education plan. This plan must be forwarded to the Registrar.
NOTE: Students may be assessed a 25% tuition surcharge once they have attempted 140 degree credit hours.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS AND INTERDISCIPLINARY PROGRAMS

FRESHMAN SEMINAR
Coordinator: Amanda M. Gengler
A university education
requires attitudes and skills that go far beyond what students have needed
previously. One of its most distinctive features is its direct confrontation
with the limitations of human knowledge. In high school we relied on teachers
and textbook writers to decide difficult issues; at the University we move into
a domain where experts routinely disagree and many issues have no simple
answers. Out of this experience, we learn a new respect for skepticism, open‑mindedness,
and our own creativity.
The University also introduces
us to much greater personal freedom and independence. We move away from the
security of our families into the world of college life. This change forces us
to budget our own time and to sustain our own motivation for achievement.
Finally, the content of a
university curriculum is more difficult to comprehend and retain than anything
we have faced before. We read technical, specialized material and learn words
we have never seen. We are asked to identify key ideas on our own and to review
for comprehensive examinations.
All of these considerations
suggest that new students should receive special instruction preparing them for
the unique challenges of university life. Accordingly, The University of North
Carolina at Pembroke has developed a course entitled Freshman Seminar (FRS
100). This course is a regular academic endeavor, with lectures, examinations,
and academic credit. Its content is summarized in the description presented
below. Students are encouraged to participate actively in this course and to
prepare carefully for its examinations. Such effort may prove more valuable
than any other activity undertaken during one’s first months at the University.
A grade of “C” (2.0) or better
must be earned in order to satisfy the Freshman Seminar requirement.
COURSE (FRS)
FRS 100. Freshman Seminar
General introduction to the academic substance, study methods, and special adjustment problems of university life. Conducted by faculty and staff from various departments. Required of all incoming freshmen during their first fifteen credit hours of course work at the University. Fall, Spring. Credit, 1 semester hour.
