<p>required to take a particular course or number of credit in particular areas in your college/university/tech. school to receive your degree? What undergraduate schools (list them) will allow one to have no or little course requirements to receive a bachelor's degree? I love math and science, and would (if I had a choice) spend my whole four years in college studying these courses adequately.</p>
<p>We have a whole bunch of gen eds, if that's what you're talking about. I think it's something like 40 credits required outside of your major.</p>
<p>That's about 10 courses, which is about 1.5 years of college. At my school, I'm required to complete about 16 courses (religion, english, music, human behavior, etc.). I'm going to a liberal art college and we have particular courses everyone is required to take, even though I'm double majoring in Honors Chemistry (over 60 credit hours of advanced chemistry) and Physics. Any advice?</p>
<p>learn to post with a descriptive subject line.</p>
<p>My advice is just to get them over with as soon as possible. You could also find out if your college will recognize gen eds taken over the summer at a community college, because that might be a good cost-effective way of getting them done. </p>
<p>And with our 43 required credits, it's actually 15 classes worth, 4 of which (11 credits) I'm doing this semester, and 1 of which I AP'ed out of (3 credits).</p>
<p>I think most schools have some sort of general education requirement that varies significantly from school to school. For instance at UC Davis for the College of Letter's & Science (which is what all the math/science majors are in), you have to take 3 arts & humanities classes, 3 Science, 3 Social Science, 1 diversity, and 3 writting. But, if you're smart you don't have to take 13 extra classes. The Science courses are probably satisfied by your major's coursework if you're majoring in any scientific field, and many classes can satisfy diversity and writting requirements in addition to arts & humanities or social science. I finished my GE requirements by taking only 6 courses outside my major (two of which were taken at a community college over the summer - easy A's)</p>
<p>Stop asking questions about specific colleges. All colleges are different. We dont know what college you attend. Pick up the phone and call your college or wait until orentation. How the f are we supposed to know bout your college?</p>
<p>I think what you're referring to is called an open curriculum and I have seen some colleges that offer this, altho the names are escaping me; maybe try a google search or a college search engine like college board</p>
<p>Brown has an open curriculum.</p>
<p>at Swarthmore... you need to take 3 courses in each of 3 general areas: humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. you also need to take 2 "writing" courses (some of them deserve the title more than others) and... 2? lab science courses. in total you need to take at least 20 courses that won't count toward major requirements (unless you double major, obviously).</p>
<p>Brown, and I don't think Amherst has any gen ed requirements either</p>
<p>Ditto with above. Smith has no curriculum either other than just a writing-intensive class in your first year (mine wasn't even "intensive"!)</p>

<p>Ever wonder why they call it "liberal arts?"</p>
