Colleges with No Core Requirements

If what you’re avoiding is just a core, then that is not difficult at all. Most colleges have distribution requirements, such that you have to take, say, a few courses in science, humanities, foreign language, etc. However, the college does not dictate exactly what courses you have to take, and it is often easy to find courses that play up your interests, even though they count for a subject you generally don’t like.

Obviously, colleges that have distribution requirements vary greatly in how close they are to a core, versus how loose they are…but I definitely wouldn’t rule out a school just because it has some requirements, because almost all do, but many can be circumvented.
