DD likes Brown’s open curriculum. She is an excellent student with a passion for theater. We know Brown is probably not in the cards. What are other colleges that offer similar programs? Her 529 college fund is pretty healthy right now. She prefers cities to rural settings and the East Coast to the West/midwest. She identifies as LGBTQ. Her parents, us lol, are new to the US and pretty clueless.
Help! Thanks. |

| Look at Oberlin, Vassar, Skidmore. Minimal requirements at each. |

Juniata has a lot of requirements but they do let you create y majors (as long as faculty approve it as being serious enough). They are called, Programs of Emphasis.
And they offer some creative ways to meet the requirements you might resist. Like my STEM does not like the social sciences, so she chose Global Climate Change and the History of Food to check that box (She loved the latter in particular. All the kids cooked the topics of their final papers at the teacher’s home, with his family, when the course was over). |

Thanks everyone.
It still means she gets a degree with a concentration, correct? I am a biy worried of her employability. |

Open curriculum allows a student to focus more on a concentration with less distribution requirements. This is why people at brown are so happy. |
