Core Curriculum Requirements
Each student must satisfy the course requirements specified below. Nearly all of the courses are designed for the purposes of general education and are part of no major program. Students may satisfy the requirements by passing the course, or, in some cases, by demonstrating competence and knowledge through placement or special examination, or by meeting the condition specified for a waiver. The experiential education requirement may also be satisfied by a period of study abroad. The First Year Seminar Sequence is required of all freshman students.
Experiential Education Requirement
The experiential education requirement may be satisfied in any of the following ways:
- A 3 credit hour January experiential education course in the sophomore or junior year
- Three credit hours (15 events) of Mountain Challenge (PHR 125, 126, 127)
- A period of study abroad approved by the International Programming Committee
Experiential education courses are offered occasionally in an evening format and in summer school.
