Other institutions have largely done away with core requirements in their entirety. [[Brown University]] offers the [[Open Curriculum (Brown University)|"Open Curriculum"]], implemented after a student-led reform movement in 1969, which allows students to take courses without concern for any requirements except those in their chosen concentrations (majors), plus two writing courses. In this vein, it is possible for students to graduate without taking college-level science or math courses, or to take only science or math courses. [[Amherst College]] requires that students take one of a list of first-year seminars, but has no required classes or distribution requirements. Similarly, [[Grinnell College]] requires students to take a First-Year Tutorial in their first semester, and has no other class or distribution requirements. Others include [[Evergreen State College]], [[Hamilton College (New York)|Hamilton College]], and [[Smith College]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://openjar.org/curricular-freedom-examples-in-action |title=Examples in Action: Our List of Open Curriculum Colleges & Universities |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120804043018/http://openjar.org/curricular-freedom-examples-in-action |archive-date=4 August 2012 |website=Open Jar Foundation |access-date=7 February 2014}}</ref>

[[Wesleyan University]] is another school that has not and does not require any set distribution of courses. However, Wesleyan does make clear "General Education Expectations" such that if a student does not meet these expectations, he/she would not be eligible for academic honors upon graduation.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wesleyan.edu/registrar/academic_regulations/general_education_expectations.html |title=General Education Expectations, Registrar |website=Wesleyan University |access-date=7 February 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720205647/http://www.wesleyan.edu/registrar/academic_regulations/general_education_expectations.html |archive-date=20 July 2011 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref>
