Distributional Requirements
The distributional system has two broad divisions, disciplinary areas and skills. Each of these is further divided into three. Disciplinary areas are humanities and arts (Hu), sciences (Sc), and social science (So). Skills are foreign language (with five levels, L1–L5), quantitative reasoning (QR), and writing (WR).
At the end of sophomore year (after four terms of enrollment), students must have enrolled for at least one course credit in each disciplinary area and at least one course credit in each skill.
