Distributional Content Area Units Required


Two units from each of the three groups below:

  • Two history units 
  • Two literary studies units (in any language)
  • Two units that focus on art, music, philosophy, religion, technology, or the sciences.

Three of these units must be at the 300-level, with at least two from different curricular divisions. One 300-level course must be the Senior Thesis (GNCS 300  or GNCS 301 -302 .)

GNCS 150 /HIST 150 - Revolution, Evolution, and the Global Nineteenth Century  cannot be used to fulfill the above distributional requirements.

Questions about eligibility of courses for distribution area requirements should be directed to the program director.

Electives


Three additional units in consultation with the adviser.

Other


No more than three 100-level units count towards the major. Majors must take at least two units with a focus outside of Europe and North America. (GNCS 150  counts towards this requirement.) Students may count up to 1.0 Intensive units towards the major, in addition to the senior thesis. Up to four units from outside of Vassar may count toward the major; this does not ordinarily include 300-level courses.
