However, all BA programs typically include several categories of courses:
* Major Requirements: This is the largest portion of your coursework. These classes focus intensely on your chosen field of study (e.g., History, English Literature, Psychology, Political Science). The specific courses will be detailed in your major's curriculum.
* General Education Requirements (also called Core Curriculum or Liberal Arts Requirements): These courses are designed to provide a broad education across various disciplines. They typically include:
* Humanities: Literature, philosophy, history, art history, etc.
* Social Sciences: Sociology, psychology, anthropology, political science, economics, etc.
* Natural Sciences: Biology, chemistry, physics (often with labs). The number and type of science courses required vary greatly by institution and major.
* Mathematics: Often a basic mathematics course is required. More advanced math may be needed depending on the major.
* Writing/Communication: Courses focusing on writing, research, and communication skills are almost always mandatory.
* Foreign Language: Some universities require a certain number of credits in a foreign language.
* Electives: These are courses you can choose to take based on your interests, to explore other subjects, or to fulfill any remaining credit requirements.
To find the specific classes required for a BA degree, you must:
1. Choose a university: Different universities have different requirements.
2. Choose a major: The major significantly impacts the required courses.
3. Consult the university's catalog or website: The university's academic catalog or website will have the most up-to-date and accurate information on degree requirements for each major. Look for a section on "Undergraduate Catalog," "Academic Programs," or "Degree Requirements."
In short, there's no single answer to your question. You need to specify the university and major to get a precise list of required classes.
