<p>I've been looking into available courses at Wake (I am attending next year) and was wondering what the general requirements are. I've seen the departmental requirements for majors/minors, but I wanted to know overall requirements. For instance, I read about a required course about diversity. I would like to know what the requirements for subjects are (science hours, foreign language, etc.)</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Wow, that's a loaded question. I'm sure that I'm going to miss some of them, because I don't have my Bulletin in front of me (it's still somewhere in all the boxes that I brought home on Saturday), but I'll give it a shot.</p>
<p>We've got what're known as basic requirements and divisional requirements.</p>
<p>For Basic, IIRC, you've got to take a First Year Seminar, a Writing Seminar (if you don't have at least a 4 on either of the AP English tests), a foreign literature course (which means that you've got to take the levels that come before the lit. course), and two Health and Exercise Science Courses.</p>
<p>For Division I, you'll have to take a religion course, philosophy, and a history course.</p>
<p>For Division II, you'll have to take two literature courses (either American, British, literature in translation, or literature in a foreign language--but not the same course you use to fulfill your foreign lit basic requirement).</p>
<p>Division III is the fine arts, and that's one class in music, art, dance, drama, and maybe some other stuff. This one's easy to fulfill if you go abroad because all of the study abroad programs, or at least all three houses, offer a course each semester that counts.</p>
<p>Division IV is, I think, called the humanities. You'll have to take 3 courses from the following departments: Anthropology, Political Science, Economics, Psychology, Communications, or Sociology. I think that you have to take your three from three different departments, but I could be wrong.</p>
<p>Division V is the maths and sciences. You have to take 3 (?) courses from any of the sciences (bio, math, and physics primarily, although astronomy counts, and I don't know what department that's in) or math. In this division, no more than two of your divisional credits can come from any one department.</p>
<p>As for the cultural diversity requirement and the quantitative reasoning requirement, those are easy to fulfill at the same time that you fulfill some divisional. For instance, I took an anthro course that satisfied the cultural diversity requirement (it'll be listed in the bulletin whether or not it satisfies). As for quantitative reasoning, I know that the maths count (if you're coming in with either AP Calc or AP Stats credit, the QR requirement will be met before you get there), and I believe that a lot of the basic sciences count as well.</p>
<p>Like I said above, I'm sure that I missed something, but I think that it's fairly close. I hope that helps. I know that it looks like a lot, but it really isn't. I've found that the divisionals are really fun, and they make me leave the sciences behind for a little while each week, which is a nice change.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Sweet. Thanks.</p>
