<p>Hamilton didn’t look completely open?..they had certain requirements they wanted people to meet. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I just said it in the other thread, but I’ll leave it here for relevance too- </p>
<p>That sort of flexibility requires these numbers:</p>
<p>The average # of classes a student will take in four years.
The # of core classes.</p>
<p>So your first number should be: </p>
<p>The Average # of classes total - # of core classes. </p>
<p>Take this number. Look at the average # of classes required for a major. The avg # for a minor. Can you double major in the remaining classes? Major/minor?</p>
<p>EX: </p>
<p>Total AVG #: 32 classes in 4 years
Core #: 7</p>
<p>32-7 = 25 classes not part of the core. </p>
<p>If your major is going to take up 20 classes, it’s not really all that flexible. But 10? maybe more so. 15? What about minors? are they 6 classes or 8? Perhaps 5? </p>
<p>Ideally no matter what, you should be able to major/minor or double major in the remaining amount of classes. But even more ideally, you should be able to count some of the core towards a major or minor</p>
<p>Pitzer might be a decent option as distributional: <a href=“http://www.pitzer.edu/academics/curriculum/guidelines.asp[/url]”>http://www.pitzer.edu/academics/curriculum/guidelines.asp</a> 6 core, plus writing. And some requirements that are really open/not necessarily strictly academic.</p>
