Does the Liberal Studies structured core curriculum mean I have fewer electives?
In the first year you may have less flexibility to take elective classes because you must take a required set of core courses. However, these courses also fulfill NYU-wide core requirements necessary for all NYU bachelor’s degree. In addition, in the sophomore year, most of the courses you take are in the division in which you will enroll after Liberal Studies. Remember, once you complete the Liberal Studies Core Curriculum in your first two years, you will have more flexibility in your junior and senior years because, by then, you will have completed most, if not all, of your NYU core requirements.
