Choosing the Right College/Core Curriculum

Question
What universities have little or no core curriculum?

Answer
Brittney,

Sorry for the delay. I thought I responded already but A;;Experts tells me I did not, or I did but erred in sending.

Anyway, most colleges have a core, both for predictability (how many faculty and class sections are needed, etc) and also to have some consistency of educational outcome. I think there are a few schools that have fewer core requirements and I'll suggest some to look at - but I am not certain that these shcools have no or minimal core requirements, they are just ones I've heard mentioned in this context over the past couple decades.

UC Santa Cruz
Evergreen State
Colorado College
Prescott College
Tusculum College
SUNY Geneseo

Best wishes in your searching.
