<p>In some subjects, there is a reasonably well defined set of courses that are expected to be offered, among which there is a subset of courses that someone majoring in the subject is generally expected to have taken before getting a bachelor’s degree. A school which does not offer the latter set of courses would not be very suitable for a student majoring in the subject. A lack of advanced elective courses beyond the minimal set may also be unsatisfying for those with a strong interest in the subject (especially a student who enters advanced enough to skip introductory subjects).</p>
<p>For example, Amherst’s math offerings are rather limited – no advanced courses in geometry, topology, numerical analysis, mathematical logic, and set theory are offered for 2011-2012 or 2012-2013.</p>
