You are confused about the University of Colorado, Denver (known as CU Denver). CAM (College of Arts and Media) is a COLLEGE within the UNIVERSITY. There are degree requirements for the majors housed in CAM, but all majors in all colleges still take “Undergraduate Core” classes (aka General Education classes). The Undergraduate Core is 34-40 semester hours of English, Math, Science, Humanities…all the usual suspects. AP credit can greatly reduce the number of classes, but no one gets a BA or a BS without taking these types of classes. Even if your student is going the BM route at a Conservatory there will likely be some “Core” requirements.
