<p>I’m looking for schools that don’t require any “basic” classes, i.e math, science, english, history. </p>
<p>I am in interested in some sort of art school. I haven’t narrowed it down yet, but I want to focus on either fashion design, fashion marketing, photography, culinary, or psychology.</p>
<p>I would like to be able to just take classes relevant to my area. (I don’t feel like disecting a frog will help me be a great fashion designer.)</p>
<p>Oh, and thanks in advance to anyone who can help!</p>
<p>Brown does not have a core curriculum, and it has an association with RISD, the Rhode Island School of Design.</p>
<p>Parsons School of Design in NYC.</p>
<p>amherst college</p>
<p>id recommend the top liberal arts colleges, but since your into fashion, you should probably go into a specialty school.</p>
<p>Just a word about definitions as the use of “core curriculum” in this thread is incorrect. Colleges with a core are places like Columbia and UChicago which have a very strict set of courses that all undergrads take. </p>
<p>What the OP is actually asking about is an “open cirriculum” vs. what is generally know as “distributional requirements”, where a student must take a certain number of classes in different fields (eg. humanities, social sciences, science, quantitative, etc.). With distributional requirements, there are many courses to chose from within each of the disciplines, for instance, classes in a FL, philosophy, history and English are all within humanities.</p>
<p>WashU’s Sam Fox school of art sounds like a possibility. They use the distribution system
so you just take classes in a few broad categories. You’re also encouraged to double major and take classes in te other schools regardless of your major.</p>
<p>IF it’s fashion you like, Parsons is tops</p>

<p>Never underestimate where you can find inspiration for design. Last time I checked nature and animals were a big source of inspiration for design.</p>
<p>Some architects are even using molecular structures as inspiration for building design.</p>
<p>A good designer really shouldn’t be narrow-minded</p>
<p>Brown, Rhode Island School of Design (some dist. req.), UArt, Hampshire, Bard (might have more requirements than you want.)</p>
