<p>I’d like to primarily look at schools with few core requirements (i.e. a USF-style core is a complete deal-breaker), and, considering I’m narrowing my list down from around 35 schools, I was wondering if there was any site that has this information compiled. I know there was a college book, Choosing the Right Colleges, I believe, which had this information included in a special box, (with a much different view of these things, although I appreciated its frank political leanings info) but its somewhat dated now.</p>
<p>To be honest, it’s not that hard to just go to the website of all the schools on your list and check their requirements. But you could also post the list here and see if people know off the tops of their heads the requirements for a few of your schools.</p>
<p>I don’t know your stats, but if you are a competitive applicant, you should look at Brown University, because they have no curriculum requirements.</p>
<p>Otherwise, I have gotten the impression that public schools generally have fewer requirements, and even if they do have some, they’re easier to circumvent with AP credits.</p>
<p>Also, look into honors colleges, which also typically waive certain credits for their students.</p>
<p>If you’re interested in schools with completely open curriculums, there are 5: Brown, Amherst, Smith, Hamilton, and Grinnell. Plenty of other schools have looser distribution requirements which can be partially fulfilled by AP/IB credit, though.</p>
<p>I’m looking for the same info, brewerfan…I think Hampshire, Bennington, Sarah Lawrence are some others…but I’d love to know of some universities beside Brown with very flexible core requirements, where a dedicated student could pretty much structure her own education.</p>
<p>post your list and we can help you out!</p>
<p>I believe Vassar may also have an open curriculum.</p>
