[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I'm sorry and should've been clearer. During college application time, I've overheard seniors saying they looked at schools that didn't have a common core. I assumed that meant they weren't required to take the 'common' courses like the ones I took when I was in college a millenium ago like Bio 100, Eng 101, etc. Can I assume today's common core is similar?[/quote] I'm the pp who asked the context, this is something totally different. Some colleges have a set of courses that everyone has to take, or that everyone has to take with some variation (e.g. pick one of these 6 history classes). Other colleges you have more choice about what to take outside your major. Columbia and University of Chicago are two schools with reputations for extensive core requirements. [b]Brown is a school with no core whatsoever[/b]. Most other schools are somewhere in between.[/quote]I hate to sound like a dunce but do I assume this means Brown students needn't take any of the basic courses (assuming there is no prerequisite for chosen courses)?[/quote] Here's a link http://brown.edu/academics/college/degree/ But it appears that, in order to graduate from Brown, you only need the following: At least 30 classes A major (except they call it a "concentration") 2 writing courses To attend for 8 semesters Of course, these are high quality rigorous courses, but there's nothing like a "math" requirement or a "foreign language" requirement unless you are going for a major that requires it.[/quote]
