Academic Divisions

The Division of General Studies is the academic unit that assists students in becoming well-rounded students from the time they enter Morris College until they transition into their chosen major program of study. Our division is focused on helping students successfully transition from high school to college by providing a sound academic foundation covering a broad range of subject areas that include communication skills, the physical sciences, mathematics, the social and behavioral sciences, religion and the humanities, as well as computer and information literacy.

One hundred percent of the General Studies faculty have earned the master's or doctoral degree, and are experienced teachers and scholars. Most of our faculty have published books or articles in scholarly publications, or have made presentations in a variety of professional settings. Besides, being well-trained and experienced, our faculty genuinely care about the well-being of our students and put forth every effort to help get their college careers off to a successful start.

The Division of General Studies provides strong academic support to students through our developmental program, which includes tutorial services provided by both supplementary instructors as well as student peer tutors. Through these initiatives, students transition into their chosen major programs of study well prepared to achieve success.
