FRESHMAN SEMINAR
Coordinator: Christa Watts
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 1000). 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 1000. 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.

PREPROFESSIONAL CURRICULA IN MEDICINE
Although a B.S. degree is
technically not a prerequisite for these programs, the large majority of
students who apply and are accepted do hold an undergraduate degree. It is
therefore recommended that students interested in these areas pursue a B.S.
degree. The Departments of Biology and Chemistry and Physics offer B.S.
programs with biomedical emphasis that enable a student to meet requirements
for most professional schools. These programs are detailed in the program
descriptions of the Departments of Biology and Chemistry and Physics.
ACCELERATED PROGRAM IN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
UNCP offers a program to its
biology majors in affiliation with hospitals approved by the Council on Medical
Education of the American Medical Association which gives, by the board of
registry of Medical Technologists, a medical technology certificate. In this
program the students complete six semesters of on‑campus study and one
year of study and training in an affiliated hospital. After satisfactory
completion of the fourth year (hospital training), UNCP will award the B.S.
degree in biology to the students. Undergraduate students enrolled in the
fourth year of the accelerated program in medical technology must pay tuition
to both UNCP (not including fees) and to the affiliated hospital. Details of
the medical technology program appear in the program description of the
Department of Biology.
Currently, the Biology
Department has formal affiliation with
It should be noted that this
is an accelerated program which allows the student to complete in four years a
program that often requires five years. Students may elect the alternate route
in which a B.S. degree in biology (biomedical emphasis) is obtained before
application to a hospital program. Students electing this route are eligible to
apply to any school of medical technology and are not limited to programs
affiliated with The University of North Carolina at Pembroke.
