Christian Halls: Turn preparation into three college credits

Through Christian Halls, students enrolled in Southeastern University's COMM 1443 can use the NCFCA curriculum, Foundations of Speech, as the learning foundation, then adapt existing work – or plan future NCFCA work – to satisfy three specific college assessment prompts and earn three college credits.

Note: Registration remains open through August 26, 2026; study and assessment preparation begin that day. The confirmed section completes its graded work during Fall B, October 21-December 15. The additional books listed in the syllabus are supplemental, not required.
