What are Divisional Requirements?
Students must complete coursework in five basic divisions of human knowledge: Humanities (Religion, History, Philosophy), Literature (in English, or foreign literature in translation), Fine Arts (Art, Music, Theatre and Dance), Social Sciences (Anthropology, Communication, Economics, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology), and Math and Natural Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, and Mathematics). Students do not have to take classes from every department within a division; they have the ability to choose among departments. The Academic Planning Guide provides a full list of 2010-11 Basic and Divisional Requirements as well as the classes that satisfy them (see page 3).
