<p>By “core”, I meant core for the major, not the University of Chicago Core. For example, a political science department may have a major “core” of American politics, comparative politics, political theory, international relations, and quantitative methods courses that everyone in the major has to take (or take at least some of). If that is the case, then these courses will either be large, or have numerous smaller sections. This is analogous to biology and chemistry majors requiring general chemistry as part of their majors’ “core”.</p>
<p>University of Chicago’s political science major appears to be organized differently.</p>
