The Touchstone Program

The Touchstone Program is Winthrop University’s distinctive foundational academic experience. The four courses that make up the Touchstone Program collectively form the base upon which deeper learning and academic progress occurs. These courses capture the dynamic quality of Winthrop’s learning environment, which provides students with a framework for learning and decision-making that they will use as the live, learn, and lead throughout their lives. The Touchstone Program includes the following courses:

  •  ACAD 101—Principles of the Learning Academy
     

  • WRIT 101—Introduction to Academic Discourse
     

  •  HMXP 102—The Human Experience: Who Am I? 
     

  •  CRTW 201—Critical Reading, Thinking, and Writing
