This website is useful as a first pass to get a quick sense of distribution requirements. The higher the letter grade, the more requirements. It’s not trying to comment on the quality of those classes.  It’s not always right, but in the spot checks I’ve done, it usually is.

I looked up my undergrad and it got a D.  But when I attended, the distribution requirements matched every criteria.  And I had that education.

Only twist I see is that I didn't have American history.  Had other histories.[/quote]

OK, I took another look.  My university has all the criteria, they are just not giving it credit because it's possible to take a theoretically easier class than the site rater wants.  For example, you could take Symbolic Logic in the Philosophy department instead of Calculus in the Math department.  And the school has to require American History.   But most of us get that in huge quantities in K-12.

I'd say this scale is evaluating the rigor of a curriculum more than openness.  Unless we're supposed to be seeking out the "F" schools as the most "anything goes" schools.[/quote]
