<p>Don’t use Axess. [Stanford</a> Courses](<a href=“http://www.stanfordcourses.com%5DStanford”>http://www.stanfordcourses.com) is a lot better, and that’s what most current students use to find courses. If you click on “more options”, you can have it find courses fulfilling certain GER’s.</p>
<p>And yes, there are in theory 12 total required classes (3 quarters of IHUM, 2 of PWR, 5 subject areas, and two EC’s), plus the language requirement. But you’re almost certain to hit at least one if not two or three of the subject areas with courses required for your major. And there are quite a few good courses that satisfy both a subject area and an EC, so you’ll probably be taking fewer than 12 courses for GER’s.</p>
