Academic culture

No general education requirements — students design their own paths. The open curriculum demands self-direction; students who don't structure themselves can drift.

How Fennie helps here

Fennie's Daily Plans provide the structure Brown students often need to design — converting a self-chosen course load into daily action.

FAQ

Is the open curriculum a real thing?

Yes — no required GE. Only your concentration requirements bind you.

Does it hurt rigor?

It can — students who avoid challenge graduate without certain skills. It can also produce more focused, motivated graduates.

How does Fennie help with self-designed curricula?

Daily Plans give structure to the courses you choose, without prescribing what to take.
