* General Education Requirements (Gen Eds): These are courses designed to broaden your education beyond your chosen major. Common examples include:
* English Composition: Typically multiple courses focusing on writing skills.
* Mathematics: Often at least one course, sometimes more depending on the major.
* Science: Usually including at least one lab science course.
* Social Sciences: Courses in areas like history, sociology, psychology, etc.
* Humanities: Courses in areas like literature, philosophy, art history, etc.
* Foreign Language: Some universities require a certain number of credits in a foreign language.
* Major Requirements: These are the courses specific to your chosen field of study (e.g., Biology, Computer Science, History, Marketing). These courses will be significantly more specialized and build upon each other.
* Electives: These are courses you can choose based on your interests, often allowing you to explore different subjects or delve deeper into your major. Sometimes, these are limited to certain departments or colleges within the university.
To find out the exact courses required for a specific bachelor's degree, you need to:
1. Choose a major: Decide what you want to study.
2. Select a university: Different universities have different requirements.
3. Consult the university's catalog or website: Look for the undergraduate catalog or a section dedicated to degree requirements for your chosen major. This document will list all the required courses. You might also find four-year plans that show a possible sequence of courses to take.
In short, there's no single list. The required classes are highly individualized and depend entirely on your chosen major and institution.
