Core Curriculum
For Students
Newcomb-Tulane College’s general education curriculum is designed to develop your capacity for information literacy, critical thinking, and personal and social responsibility.
Our Core Curriculum — which is composed of a minimum of 30 credits — is divided into two parts: proficiency requirements and a distribution of knowledge. To ensure that you experience the breadth of knowledge at the collegiate level, AP and IB courses can be used to satisfy proficiency requirements only in Formal Reasoning and Foreign Languages.
Courses will be designated as satisfying the distribution requirements according to the content and methodology rather than the departmental affiliation of the course.
