The Core curriculum forms the broad liberal arts base in preparation for specialized study in any field. Core courses are spread over four years and total about one-third of the graduation requirements. Major programs build on the Core foundation and usually total another one-third of courses taken.
Electives typically make up the remaining one-third of course work.
These may be used to pursue one or more minors or a second major, to work in an internship or study abroad or simply to develop individual interests which may expand career options. The Core is required of all Susquehanna students, and forms the broad liberal arts base for specialized study in any field. The Core is organized in three major segments, with choices in each area shown on pages 9 through 11. Honors Program students complete Core requirements through specially designed courses shown in italics. Course descriptions are found in departmental sections of the catalog.
