distributional requirements at haverford and grade inflation/deflation

If you take a class pass fail you can’t count it towards a distribution req unless you uncover your grade. Its only 3 semesters of natural science classes (one of which has to be quantitative, but not necessarily a strict math class). There are health studies and psych class (neuroscience focused) that will fulfill natural science credits. None of these classes have labs. Also, there are science classes specifically designed for non-majors that you can take (like perspectives in biology - they usually have some pretty interesting topics).

Also geology at Bryn Mawr is said to be an easy way to do your science classes, though there is a lab. Generally BMC science classes are said to be a bit less rigorous than Haverford’s classes (except for the ones specifically designed for non majors as those are not very difficult in general).

Usually the quantitative req is trickier to fulfill with an easy course. You can take calc, stats or there are also some non-majors physics/astronomy classes that involve enough math to count it to fulfill the quantitative req.

Also, if you have any interest in coding and computers, you can take computer science.

Don’t let the distribution req scare you away! Part of an LAC is taking a wide array of classes and its really not a huge deal. Honestly, I’ve discovered some amazing fields and learned some really cool things taking classes outside of my comfort zone.
