No more than three 100-level courses count towards the major. Majors must take at least two classes 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.
