没有一条路可以实现核心. The Core is meant to be a foundational experience for underclassmen and women as they pursue their education at BC. It is 不 something to “get out of the way” -- it is what makes a BC education deep and distinctive. For some, taking most Core courses in their first years at BC makes sense. A broad foundation will make the specialization of a major richer and more satisfying. 为他人, especially those whose majors follow a clear path of requirements beginning their first year, it makes sense to take Core classes along the way; they establish breadth and balance the demands of a major. The key question is 不 when you take your Core requirements, but how you see them providing the heart of a liberal arts education in a Jesuit setting. 实际上, you will also have more flexibility in choosing your Core courses if you start early, rather than if you attempt to cram several last-minute credits in during your senior year. 如果你是 concerned about managing your schedule in concert with the needs of your major, school, 或者专业预科课程, you should speak with your advisor and/or class dean.

If it is a course offered through Summer Session at BC, the course must already be approved for Core during the academic year. (例如, SOCY1001 in Summer Session acts the same as SOCY1001 in Fall or Spring semester.) No other courses are eligible to count for Core, including Woods College courses (which begin with AD****).
If it is a course taken outside BC (at a不her domestic university or study abroad): You must seek approval from the BC department that most closely matches the course content. (例如, a 政治科学 course taken in England should be referred to the 政治科学 department at BC.)
