Courses of Study
Undergraduate colleges vary widely, but most require certain core courses (like mathematics, science, English literature and a foreign language) plus a "major". If you were an "economics major," for example, you would take your required core courses, then a certain number of required courses in economics. You would fill out the rest of your college education with "elective" courses, which you choose according to your own interests. Most colleges allow students to major in common areas such as English, philosophy, political science and mathematics. A student who wants to major in a more obscure subject, like oceanography or Bolivian-Belgian relations, has a more limited choice of potential schools.
