Help me out. I’m having a hard time understanding how these two are alike. Grinnell has a highly individualized and personalized open curriculum with a strong advising program in support of the individualized programming and curriculum decisions. The only core requirement is a 2 course sequence in freshman year. In contrast, Whitman has about 30 credits of distribution requirements, or about half of the course work in the first 2 years. These 2 approaches seem very different to me. But I may be missing something.
