Uncompromising, Personalized Attention

Every Foundation University faculty member is committed to helping students succeed. We implement our program of uncompromising, personalized attention across the board. Students here are challenged to become better with tutorials and remedial lessons, if necessary.

THE CONCENTRATION PLAN

At Foundation U, students enroll for entire semesters but take only half a study load at a time. Except for courses with a heavy emphasis on laboratory work, Physical Education and varied skills subjects that last a whole semester, each course runs for nine consecutive weeks, meeting daily. There are no classes on Saturdays, with the exception of select graduate courses.

ORIENTATION COURSE

Our orientation plan develops a deeper understanding of a subject as well as independent thought. The course helps the student learn how to study, appreciate knowledge, overcome timidity, and builds self-confidence and discipline.

INDEPENDENT STUDY

As students progress, we require them to spend more time in our libraries. Upperclassmen must regularly submit term papers, book reviews, as well as analytical summaries of varied subject material.

THEORY-AND-APPLICATION APPROACH

We do not believe in memorization and rote learning. Instead, we encourage students to understand principles and their applications. What you learn will be applied daily to what you do here and beyond our campus after you graduate.
