@lime2020, the open curriculum was one of the reasons both my sons chose Hamilton. There are no core curriculum requirements at Hamilton except that each student needs to take 3 writing intensive courses to graduate. There are writing intensive courses in almost every discipline. So for example if you are a math/science person and don’t like history/literature/English type classes there are writing intensive courses you can take in math and science. If you’re in interested in disciplines such as music or art there are writing intensive classes in those disciplines too.
They say the open curriculum promotes more interest from students in their classes outside their majors since students choose the classes they take rather than are required to take them. My son said he feels that is definitely true.
Here’s a video of a student describing the open curriculum. She probably does a better job than I did here.
There are also a few FAQs here on the Hamilton web site about the open curriculum on the bottom of this page:
