Does PSU have required “core” courses (Math, science, humanities, history, art etc.).
@HelenH Here is a link to gen ed requirements. I don’t know if I would call them “core” classes -but more Gen Ed.
Depending on the major, there may be a language requirement … math requirements are different by major, but that gives you a sense of the geneds.
Google “recommended academic plan {insert major} Penn State” - they actually have a proposed semester by semester layout of what it would look like. If your D is considering different majors, find the overlap. And then look at ETM courses (entrance to major). They must be completed (with a specific GPA depending on the major) within a credit window (44-59 for example). Your kid MUST apply for a major within this window (for capacity controlled majors), so all your ETMs must be completed.
@lucyvanpelt Thank you!
