Department & Program Considerations
- Inquiry into Citizenship sections and Pillar courses allow students to be exposed to and to explore your discipline.
- Each major or minor may offer courses in no more than two of the following categories: Historical & Contemporary Insights, Human Behavior & Social Institutions, Global Citizenship, Aesthetic Expression, Quantitative Reasoning, and Scientific Reasoning. Interdisciplinary majors and minors, such as Liberal Studies, are exempt from this policy.
- Courses may be offered by a single department or may be cross-listed in different categories when the course is co-taught. If a course is cross-listed in different categories, students may count it toward the completion of only one requirement.
- Majors may reserve up to 50% of seats in each section it offers in a Foundations course (First-Year and Pillar courses) or of a Perspectives course.
- Internships: Any internship requirements will be decided by major programs. This provides major programs with the opportunity to develop alternative capstone experiences for their students.
- Course Sizes: To provide more opportunities for classroom interaction, most Core Curriculum courses have caps of 25 students. The courses below have the following caps:
- Scientific courses with labs have 24 students.
- Inquiry into Citizenship sections have 20 students.
- Writing & Rhetoric sections and Symposium on the Common Good sections have 18 students.
- Aesthetic Expression courses with studios have 15 students.
