Students have all four years to complete the requirements for the College Core Curriculum, or CCC.
The abbreviations you see below in the list of College Core Curriculum requirements indicate which requirements a course fulfills; these will also appear on the course description pages in myBucknell.
Some courses can fulfill more than one requirement, but it is not always possible to use the same course to fulfill two different requirements. Although you will see below and in course listings online which requirements a particular course fulfills, when you are filling in your online registration form you will only be asked to make course selections based on the disciplinary perspectives (i.e., Arts & Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences & Mathematics) and not by the other categories.
1. Intellectual Skills
- Foundation Seminar (FOUN or RESC) — required your first semester; all sections are W1
- Lab Science (LBSC) — one course
- Foreign Language requirement (CCFL) — one course
- Integrated Perspectives course (CCIP) — taken in the sophomore year
2. Disciplinary Perspectives: Two courses in each division; one must meet divisional learning goals
