Distribution Requirements
Each student must pass with a letter grade one full-credit course (or the equivalent in fractional-credit courses) from each
of the following five divisions. C- is the minimum acceptable grade for fulfilling each part of the distribution requirement. No
course may be counted as belonging to more than one division. College courses, courses offered exclusively for an
interdisciplinary minor, teaching assistantships, student-taught courses, tutorials, independent studies, internships, and senior
colloquia may not be counted toward this requirement. When choosing courses to satisfy the distribution requirement,
students should confirm the classification of each course by consulting the entry for it in the current edition of the Schedule of
Classes.
