What Does Every 100-Level UF Course Have in Common?
Each 100-level UF course is designed to help you become a more active and expert learner as you investigate and communicate about important ideas that affect everyone.
In your 100-level UF course, you will further develop two complex skills that successful students continue to sharpen throughout college and life: critical inquiry and oral communication.
The Foundations of Intellectual Life
100-level UF courses are academically challenging three credit courses usually offered in a large general session (about 100 students) paired with a small-format breakout discussion section (about 25 students).
No matter what 100-level UF course you take, you will engage in college-level inquiry by investigating an important topic directly connected to the world around us. You will analyze information sources, engage in problem solving, develop presentations, and practice oral communication.
We recently changed the numbering system for UF courses to help students better understand content differences. Because there are many different thematic topics from which students can choose, sections are no longer offered under the single UF 100 designation. Instead, students can choose from many different course titles and numbers each semester (UF 101, UF 102, etc.) to fulfill the 100-level Foundations of Intellectual Life requirement.
