Maybe this comes down to the definition of ‘flexible’ again, but Macalester’s requirements don’t fit the bill for me : 8 semester credits in designated courses in the social sciences, 8 in natsci/math, 12 in Humanities and Fine Arts. [Macalester College Catalog](http://www.macalester.edu/academic/catalog/ap2.html).

This is a VERY useful thread - I’ve been trawling through online catalogues, looking at descriptions of the required courses. Some colleges make it much more difficult than others - have had to email with questions in some cases. Am off now to look at U Conn - thanks!
