‘No Required Subjects’
Education at Rochester is guided by the philosophy that students learn best when they love what they study. That is why the Rochester Curriculum—unique in higher education—has no required subjects.
Students in Arts, Sciences, and Engineering pursue a major in one of the three great divisions—humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences—and complete a cluster of three or more related courses in the two areas outside their major. The result is an education that reflects students' priorities.
