No, the flexibility of the Arts & Sciences curriculum encourages students to explore their interests broadly so there are no required courses in the College of Arts & Sciences. Instead our faculty have outlined ten broad distribution requirements in key areas such as Global Citizenship, Social Difference, and Statistics and Data Science, all of which are essential for preparing students to contribute to a society experiencing significant social, technological, and economic changes. In addition, students take two first-year writing seminars to hone essential writing skills, and pass a foreign language course at the intermediate level (or complete 11 sequential introductory credits). Graduates earn at least 120 credits, approximately one third of which are in their chosen major.
