NEW 101
The ASU New College Experience
NEW 101 is a required course where students learn about ASU's mission as the New American University, the importance and benefits of an entrepreneurial approach to problem solving, solutions to sustainability challenges, and the importance of social embeddedness. Additionally, through various course discussions and assignments, students examine the concept of academic integrity and its potential impact on their future, gain awareness of the value of engaging in research activities, and learn about taking an interdisciplinary perspective.
Classes have a maximum of 25 students, and students typically take NEW 101 with students in similar programs.
