undergraduate program in the U.S.?

Is there any “non-credit” subject like physical education, moral studies, or military training which requres undergraduate students to take? My Taiwansese junior college asks all students whatever they are major in to study physical education and military training each semester, and the students morality will be conducted by the class instructor. As a result, there are extra four hours I need to spend every week for non-credit subjects.

What is an American undergraduate student’s school week timetable like normally? What is the undergraduate program structure? Let’s say, in business department, do all the credits only be divided into two categories, core subjects and elective subjects?

Not that I know of.

The only time that I have ever heard of taking non-credit classes is when someone entering college, usually junior college, needs remedial classes or ESOL-based English classes that are NOT college level. – – – Theses are like pre-requisite classes that must be taken and passed by some people in order to gain entrance into college level math and English.

On the other hand, some individuals choose to take college courses for enjoyment rather than for a degree. There individuals may chose to designate their courses as non-credit.

There really isn’t any such thing as a “typical” American undergraduate experience. Some colleges have physical or religious education requirements; some don’t. Most do have some variation on a core curriculum, but the number and type of classes in it vary. So does the weekly schedule. For a truly accurate picture of what you’d be getting into, you need to identify some universities that interest you and look at them specifically.

All courses have credits, including work experience internships.

I’d say about 65% is core, 25% is major and the rest electives that are required as part of core/major (Fine Arts for example)

Core subjects are math and English and Science and Politics/History

Electives are Art, Dance, PE
