I can't find the liberal arts core curriculum requirments on the website. Does anyone on this board attend Cornell College and af so, can you tell me what the required courses are or better yet, give me an example of how you set up your schedule to take the required courses (I assume there are some) and still be immersed in your main interests?
There is no 1 required class at Cornell College. There are general education requirements and those are
-4 Humanities
-2 Social Science
-2 Science (1 must be a lab class)
-1 Math
-1 Fine Arts
-A foreign language up to an intermediate level (which is at most 4 classes depending on placement)
-1 Writing Intensive Class
The only requirement on when you would take them is that the writing class must be in your freshman year, but to be honest, it would be difficult to take 9 classes and one of them not be a writing class.
Students have a total of 36 classes during 4 years at Cornell and those requirements will at most only be 15. This gives our students plenty of opportunity to be immersed in their interests.
