COLLEGE OF BASIC STUDIES The College of Basic Studies offered associate degree programs as well as a bachelor degree program in General Studies. The area of general studies was for students who were undecided about their major. The newest program emplamented was that all incoming freshmen would stay in the College of Basic Studies until they had completed successfully 30 semester hours in addition to any remedial courses. An advantage to the basic study major was that it offered the student a wide range of courses to choose from towards a major. The Orientation courses were taught through the College of Basic Studies. The two major instructors of these courses were Mrs. Barbara Gillis and Mrs. Agatha Newitt. One program ran through this college is that of tutoring. Here a tutorer helps out a confused student.

The varieties of the bookstore were numerous. The bookstore kept T-Shirts with NSU logo and any other college paraphernalia that students decorate their rooms and cars with to show their spirit. All textbooks for classes offered by NSU could have been found in the bookstore. These textbooks could have also been sol d back at the end of the semester if one wished.
