Colleges that don't require Gen Ed Courses

Although I have always been quantitatively strong (Econ major, MBA), I was never interested in science. I found ways to use math courses to fulfill my college gen ed “science” requirements. As an adult citizen of the world, it has been something I regret. My eyes glaze over on too many science-related subjects. When I retire, one of my first activities will be to find some interesting science courses at a “senior college” or similar.

I would advocate looking at schools whose art programs appeal and whose gened requirements can be fulfilled in ways that might interest her: seminars on science-related topics etc. (rather than traditional bio/chem/physics sequences); astronomy maybe, geology… Something that will round out her education - I think there is value in that.
