[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Catholic colleges have intense, time sucking gen eds. Great for a liberal arts kid who loves philosophy, theology. Providence students are required to invest two years completing Western Civilization. BC, Nova, Fordham also heavy on gen eds. Fordham registers freshman 1st semester. They can only select one choice in the theology, philosophy menu. They have a math placement exam for first years. Quite a few AP's will only count toward electives and not place them out of core classes.  [/quote]

They are mostly liberal arts colleges so of course they have a wide range of courses in philosophy, history, ethics, religion. I found these courses interesting and refreshing after attending a public high school which was very light on content. My favorite course was Women in the Christian Tradition taught by a former hippy nun. We read the Handmaid's Tale and had some of the best class discussions. My friend went to PC and loved the two-year course you mentioned. I had to take math and FL placement tests and they worked. They placed me where I belonged instead of just looking at my HS transcript. [/quote]
