[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gen Eds at VT are called Pathways. Easy to look up what that entails. All students need to complete them, including the engineering students. My senior Hokie placed out of many of them due to AP credit, and some (the STEM related ones, advanced communication and a design one) have gotten satisfied via her major requirements. That left her with 1 arts class to take (she chose an online music appreciation class to help balance her schedule). She also took a global ethics class one semester as she needed 3 more credits for her scholarship that term & wanted an online course to give her flexibility.[/quote]

Yes but how strong are the courses? Do professors care and challenge the students? Do students care? Testing out isn’t impressive at all. [/quote]

Was surprised how much most professors cared. They welcome students at office hours, and judging by reports from my VT grad, were open to conversations. Can’t speak to many higher level humanities courses bc mine was a science major. An author read in a humanities class was invited to campus and students were part of the professor-hosted dinner.

Look into the honors college which has these sorts of events regularly. That’s also where you’ll find the physics /humanities double majors.

You will find « will this be on the test? » students in all American colleges and universities these days. You might be surprised.[/quote]
