What is the CORE Curriculum?
• The core curriculum consists of 17-21 courses drawn from nine disciplines and/or families of disciplines. It is integrated in such a way as to provide students with an exciting, stimulating educational experience. The core curriculum provides all students with the liberal arts background that will prepare them for the challenges and opportunities of the future. To assess your progress with the core curriculum, download the Core Curriculum Checklist.
For a detailed list of the core curriculum see the Core Curriculum Requirements page. In general the core curriculum (42 – 46 hrs.) is a set of required courses which guarantees all SFA graduates will have a broad-based academic foundation. Most of the core requirements are common to every major. In the categories where there are choices, your advisor will help you select the appropriate course(s).
