Restricted to requiring a major-within-a-major (ie. art/sculpture) even as a Dean’s Scholar, hurdles thrown in the path of studying film and art as they were in two different departments (English/Art), and general prerequisite requirements tying upper-level courses to completion of lower-level courses that a student outside the department can’t even get into until their junior year. Typical large-U issues none of which are a problem at SLC.</p>
<p>No majors means you study whatever interests you. No prerequisites means you don’t waste time on one course just to take another, and interviewing faculty before choosing a course is just the coolest way to make a schedule. My DD never had a problem getting into a course she was interested in, or creating a course to cover an area of interest there was no course for. For the right kind of student, SLC is nirvana. ;)</p>
