The RSC Thread at Russell Sage
All colleges and universities offering bachelor’s degrees have a required general education or liberal education curriculum. It’s a collection of subjects that develops strong and creative thinkers with sharp problem-solving and communication skills and a wider perspective of the world.
But our 36-credit general education curriculum has students do more than pick from what feels like a random menu. Yes, students still take the standards: writing, research, arts, humanities, natural sciences, quantitative reasoning, and social sciences. Students also choose a course tied to our Thrive@Russell Sage wellness and well-being initiative.
What Is the RSC Thread?
The RSC Thread is a series of three courses – RSC 101, 201, and 301 – all students who begin at Russell Sage as first-year students take. Most transfer students have enough credits accumulated when they arrive at Russell Sage that they’re only required to take RSC 301.
