The undergraduate school was very proud of a number of the courses used to fulfill the “second tier” of the core- any of the Civilization sequences, but especially Western Civ, Music 101, Art 101, and a two or three quarter follow-on to the Humanities core courses (I cannot remember the name of it). These courses are required for many majors, so a large percentage of the student body is participating in them. The Physical Sciences division did not require them, but my advisor, fellow students, resident heads, etc were always pushing them. Often, a very famous professor will teach one section, and everyone is trying to get into that one.
