<p>I'm confused by the ILR distribution requirements. Do we only need to take one course in each field - science and technology, cultural perspectives, advanced writing, western intellectual tradition - in order to fulfill the requirement? And this can be done anytime during my undergraduate years?</p>
<p>Is there a certain number of credits for general electives that ILR students must take? Is it necessary to take general electives every semester? Or can I just take distribution requirements during my freshman fall semester to get them out of the way first?</p>
<p>as an ILR student you will be pre-enrolled by the registrar into ILR required courses (not the distribution ones though, those are up to you)</p>
<p>lets say your first semester you are pre-enrolled into 9 credits of ILR required courses (microecon, labor history and org. behavior, etc) then it’s up to you what the rest of your classes are…u can take distributions right away or wait…</p>
<p>i would recommend getting them out the way…</p>
<p>If you’re looking to complete a minor, try and find courses that fit both the minor’s requirements and your distribution requirements. They usually let you overlap so you don’t have to take too many extra courses to get a minor. Don’t quote me though, I’m from engineering and I’m not even sure you can pursue minors in the ILR school lol.</p>
<p>Do remember you have to complete 2 FWS courses and 2 PE courses as well. I suggest bowling or Taekwondo.</p>
<p>fallenmerc makes an excellent recommendation! </p>
<p>usually the law and society minor is the one that fits the easiest with ILR requirements…</p>
<p>thanks! but how many distribution credits do I need? Is it sufficient if I only take one course in each field? Is there a certain number of general elective credits I need?</p>
<p>only 1 distribution course is sufficient i believe…</p>
<p>the general electives you will need will depend on how many ilr credits you get…</p>
<p>you could always take more ILR classes instead of electives. but i believe you need at least 120 credits (including ilr requirements) to graduate.</p>
