*ENGL 101+ is a combination of ENGL 032 and ENGL 101
**Combined instruction and a paid working internship.
All students enroll in up to 14 credit hours; students' academic and work schedules will be determined on or before Program Orientation.
Week-Ends
Students must commit to the entire program. The work and study nature of the program means students will be busy every weekend. Extracurricular activities will be scheduled for students during the program.
Course Descriptions:
ENGL 101+: Composition I:
ENGL 101+ is a combination of ENGL 032 and ENGL 101. ENGL 032 is intensive work in grammar and usage, punctuation, and paragraph development. ENGL 101 is practice in the skills, research, and documentation needed for effective academic writing. Analysis of a variety of academic and non-academic texts, rhetorical structures, critical thinking, and audience will be included.
ENGL 101: Composition I:
ENGL 101 is practice in the skills, research, and documentation needed for effective academic writing. Analysis of a variety of academic and non-academic texts, rhetorical structures, critical thinking, and audience will be included.
MATH 021: Basic Algebra:
This course prepares students for college level mathematics. Topics generally include: basic properties of real numbers, exponents & radicals, rectangular coordinate geometry, solutions to linear and quadratic equations, inequalities, polynomials, and factoring. Students may also be introduced to functions and systems of equations.
MATH 101: Intermediate Algebra:
Basic properties of real numbers, linear equations and inequalities, quadratic equations, systems of equations, polynomials and factoring, rational expressions and equations, and radical expressions and equations, and an introduction to functions such as polynomial, exponential and logarithmic functions.
MATH 102: College Algebra:
Equations and inequalities; polynomial functions and graphs, exponents, radicals, binomial theorem, zeros of polynomials; systems of equations; exponential, logarithmic, and inverse functions, applications and graphs. Other topics selected from sequences, series, and complex numbers.
A&S 100: College Success Strategies:
This course is designed to engage students in their college experience, both academically and personally. The course aids students as they acquire and develop the skills necessary to reach their educational objectives. Through readings, discussions, reflective writing, and class activities, all of which illuminate a specific topic, students will practice skills that will enable them to succeed in their college courses.
NATV 194: Native Studies Internship:
Applied, monitored, and supervised field-based learning experience combined with face-to-face instruction of Native culture. Students gain practical experience; they follow a negotiated and/or directed plan of study. A higher level of supervision is provided by the instructor in these courses than is the case with field experience courses.
