CORE is required for 3 semesters, which is analyzing various social justice issues through several different lenses. CORE I is standardized for all first-years, so that class is sometimes difficult if you don’t have a background in social justice issues (but as in study hard difficult, not impossible difficult). But CORE 2 and 3 have options, so if you find a lens you like, it becomes much more enjoyable. For example, I love math, so my CORE 3 of “Mathematics in Our Culture” which addresses social justice issues and representations of math in the humanities was delightful, even though CORE 1 was a bit of struggle for me.
Beyond that, Scripps requires a gender & women’s studies GE and a race and ethnics studies GE. But again, she might be able to find some interdisciplinary course which makes those topic more interesting to her.
Other than that, as long as she is respectful of those who are passionate about social justice issues, it’s generally not a problem for people.
