<p>I was wondering if anyone knows of any college with few requirements (~8-12 courses) for a major. There was one LAC like this that I was thinking about… but I can’t remember it 
…</p>
<p>Thanks ^^*</p>
<p>Edit: It was Williams, but still looking for more. ^^</p>
<p>What major(s) are you considering?</p>
<p>For example, many majors at Berkeley require 12 to 15 courses, which is about 48 to 60 credit units out of 120 needed to graduate. In a few cases, AP credit may substitute for some freshman level courses (e.g. the math major requires 13 courses, but students with a 5 on AP calculus BC can skip two of them). The “smallest” major at Berkeley is probably linguistics, which requires 8 or 9 courses totalling at least 30 credit units.</p>
<p>However, some majors consume significantly more schedule space. Examples include engineering majors.</p>
<p>Of course, there are also breadth requirements to consider.</p>
<p>This might not be what you are looking for, but Evergreen State College has no requirement to have a major or any particular course work at all (just 180 quarter units for a BA degree):</p>

<p>Thanks! ^^</p>
<p>To answer your question: I am planning to major in physics, but I want to be able to at least double major (probably in philosophy).</p>
<p>At Berkeley, physics requires 50 credit units (42 if you know freshman calculus well enough to skip it going in), while philosophy requires 48 credit units. With no overlapping courses, they will require 90 to 98 credit units out of 120.</p>

<p>The remaining 22 to 30 credit units can be used to fulfill general requirements that you will not already have fulfilled going in or will automatically fulfill with your major courses:</p>

<p>Of course, if your majors have more overlap, like physics and math or physics and astronomy, then fitting it all together becomes easier.</p>
