Core Curriculum Advising

The preparation year is the gateway to the core curriculum. This begins the 4-year credited journey to a bachelor’s degree. Here, the student takes courses in the university core curriculum (English, Arabic, and physical education) and the college core curriculum (mathematics, natural and physical sciences, and social and behavioral sciences) before and while taking courses in their respective colleges: information technology, engineering (interior design for females), and business. During this academic journey, the students will take a three-course assessment capstone series (one course each year starting in the sophomore year) to gauge and demonstrate the progress of the student.

According to PMU system design, the Core Curriculum contains three components:

• The University Core Curriculum requirements
• The College Core Curriculum requirements
• The Degree-specific requirements
