<p>I’m going to walk back the “allowed” part of the quote; maybe, “discouraged” would have been a better choice of words. What I was trying to get at is that the spirit behind cross-registration is to encourage 5C students to take courses that their own colleges don’t offer. But, because CMC, Pomona, Pitzer, Scripps and to some degree even Harvey Mudd, are all liberal arts colleges (albeit with different leanings), the reality is that there is an enormous amount of redundancy within the consortium. Math seems to be the one traditional area of the curriculum that truly benefits from having mulitiple departments. But, other than that, are you saying, it’s no problem for a Pomona student to take organic chemistry through the Joint Science program run by Pitzer, Scripps and CMC or vice-versa?</p>
