What colleges do not have required core courses?

Answer 1

Every vocational school I've been around required at least English 101, Speech 101, and Algebra, but these aren't referred to as core courses, they are called general university requirements....core courses are the courses of your major....if your majoring in business then typical core courses would be accounting 101, 102; finance 301, etc.
Any school that doesn't have required core courses is a waste of time and money.

Answer 2

Most colleges require some core courses in order to graduate. Any colleges that don't require them are crap colleges - you won't be taken seriously in the real world or in the job market with a degree from a college without core courses. The best colleges, the most respective colleges, are the ones with a strong core curriculum. Please don't try to take the easy way out of school - part about going to college is experiencing many different areas - that is the purpose of the core courses - to make you a more rounded, balanced individual.

Answer 3

Well, depending on your major, most colleges require "core courses." The whole idea is that so you become a well-rounded individual, not just focused on one thing. I learned a lot of interesting things in my core courses, and I was able to relate many of them to my major.

If cost is the issue, try taking your core courses at a community college. Just make sure that you explain to an advisor your future plans and the courses transfer.

Answer 4

Most colleges do because it is important to have a good base of core classes. My guess is that most technical schools don't have required core courses.

Answer 5

Most vocational colleges don't require English , Math and other core courses. You take the courses relevant to the certificate that you are pursuing.
