The Discovery Program is the signature undergraduate studies program reflecting our vision and embodying the academic plan for the University of New Hampshire . The program is designed to provide a common and unifying framework for the UNH undergraduate experience. The tenets of the Discovery Program include the first year experience and Discovery skills, disciplinary breadth, and interdisciplinary understanding and integration.
Drafted Category Descriptions
The discovery category descriptions in eight discipline areas are presented below.
This draft was submitted to Academic Affairs in September 2008 and is currently under discussion within this committee of the faculty senate. The Discovery Program Advisory Committee anticipates some revision to these category descriptions; however we are placing them on the Discovery Website so that faculty may review them within the context of current major and General Education courses. If any faculty member has concerns regarding how a course would transfer from current General Education into one of the Discovery category descriptions, please contact Discovery Program Faculty Co-Directors Thomas Pistole or Barbara P. White or your current department liaison.
