How does the General Studies Foundation Course (GSFC) differ from the Comprehensive Online Program (COP) ?

The key difference between the General Studies Foundation Course (GSFC) and the Comprehensive Online Program (COP) is that the GSFC does not include the Optional Subject Classes. While the COP encompasses classes for both General Studies and the Optional Subject, the GSFC course primarily focuses on General Studies.
