Why all the emphasis on math, statistics, and writing courses?
A. Basic courses in mathematics, statistics, and English composition prepare you for junior- and senior-level courses, and also for graduate programs. In addition, they provide key job skills many employers are actively seeking. UMUC requires you to complete a writing course in your first 12 semester hours. Preliminary Evaluation At any time, a student may request a Preliminary Evaluation of all previous credits. The evaluation may be prepared from official or unofficial records, and will provide a preliminary estimate of the amount of credit the student may expect to receive toward a UMUC degree or certificate. This preliminary estimate is not binding on either the student or UMUC and is subject to change. Students in Korea and Okinawa should direct requests for Preliminary Evaluations to the Academic Advisors who maintain offices in their areas. All other students should contact the Office of Student Affairs at Yokota.
