This is a group of courses designed to introduce new students to basic logic and entry level processes for the successful college experience.
Program Offerings
Fundamental Studies courses may be included in the 128 credits required for a Bethany College degree, but no more than 4 credits earned in Fundamental Studies courses may be applied to the 128 hours.
These courses may be a condition of admission for first-year and/or transfer students. Students are given the opportunity to test out of FDST 096 (Reading), 097 (Mathematics), and/or 098 (Writing). Continued enrollment in Bethany College will be contingent upon the successful completion of courses during the first two semesters of admission.
Fundamental Studies courses count in the total number of hours a student carries to maintain College eligibility during the semester taken. For each course, the student will receive a letter grade that will be included only in the calculation of the semester grade point average. Courses with a course number below 100 will not be included in the overall GPA or be eligible for honors.
