<p>I remember reading on their website that University of Rochester has very few (if any) general ed. requirements which enables students to double major and take classes in subjects that they otherwise may not be able to.</p>

<p>This depends entirely on the college/university. All will post graduation requirements on the website. But most courses of study in the US for 4 year programs have what is called ‘general education requirements’ or ‘distribution requirements’. Those usually have you take classes in a variety of area of study to have a broad bases sampling of topics. But within those categories, you usually have some choice of individual class. Also usually there are ‘electives’ where you can take what you want with no restriction. And finally there are classes for your major. This can vary depending on the college.</p>

<p>Here is an example of one college’s general requirements.

<p>If you want to take just any classes that you want (follow different passions), then look for ‘open curriculum’ colleges. There are less of those, so also look for colleges that are more flexible or have less gen eds.</p>
