Freshman's question on the core courses

<p>Can a course double(or triple) count as core requirement?
Last year when I went on campus tours of various schools, most talked about how core requirements aren’t so bad since a single course can count towards multiple categories but I can’t seem to find such information here.
For example if I take ‘The Arts of Japan’ which is listed under cultural diversity but not fine arts (even if it’s labled FA), I still have to take another course under fine arts requirement list? </p>

<p>Also, I heard a lot of other schools offer more ‘fun’ courses like Physics in movies for example, for non- science majors who have to take science requirement or vice-versa. Is there any courses like that in BC? So far, I can’t find any :(</p>

<p>Oh, one last thing XD
I don’t have to actually register for courses online yet, right? I just plan roughly and take it to orientation and then register with my faculty advisor right?</p>

<p>some courses can double count for the Core and even your major. But they are clearly listed as such. </p>

<p>And no, FA 275 does not meet the fine arts requirement. (A Fine Arts major could use it for both major and cultural diversity, however.)</p>

<p>Yes, you only plan your schedule before you arrive; you will meet with an advisor and register during orientation.</p>

<p>Sorry, no ‘physics for poets’.</p>

<p>Thanx!!
I really hope BC opens more “fun” courses too:)</p>

<p>oh, so BC doesn’t even offer sport classes?
I saw Cornell had bunch of those classes like Latin dance, tennis, swimming, Pilates and more?</p>

<p>some US colleges, such as Cornell, have PE requirements for graduation. Thus, they have to offer PE courses.</p>

<p>BC has no such graduation requirement. (Not necessary, since many/most? matriculants played HS sports.)</p>
