I find this section to be a combination between advertising and course catalogue. The Core Curriculum (CC) is not really that dazzling as a sequence of courses, and there is no information about how influential it really is. If is truly important to Scripps's identity, then shouldn't there be a reference to statements about that? Or something about its history? Compare the Honors System at Swarthmore College. That is a high-profile option, there are lots of articles about it in the literature about higher education. If that kind of supporting information is not available for CC, then I propose deleting this section. Melchior2006 (talk) 18:39, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Melchior2006, I added a quick reference to the Fiske Guide to Colleges, which mentions the core curriculum in its bolded intro paragraph on Scripps, and devotes a full paragraph to it later in the two-page entry. That's one justification for it being important to Scripps' identity. I'd expect there to be plenty of additional references if one did a deeper search. That said, I'm not sure that the Core Curriculum should be a subsection, rather than just integrated into a section on the academics/curriculum, and I certainly don't think it should have its own article (as at Columbia). {{u|Sdkb}} talk 19:20, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks, that was a good idea. I relocated it and streamlined the passage a bit. --Melchior2006 (talk) 19:31, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
