The Residential College is a four year, degree-granting unit within the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts devoted exclusively to undergraduate education. The RC offers courses and concentrations of its own. Students in the RC elect a substantial number of courses within LS&A and often complete LS&A concentrations. Honors students are eligible to join the RC. The RC actively encourages applications from minority students.
The College opened in 1967 and presently enrolls over 900 students. The faculty is comprised of over fifty full or part-time lecturers and professors, most of the latter on joint appointment with LS&A departments or other schools and colleges of the University. The curriculum includes multidisciplinary approaches to the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences. Courses are also offered in fine arts, music, and languages. Concentrations open exclusively to RC students include: Drama, Creative Writing, Comparative Literature, Arts and Ideas in the Humanities, Social Science, and Individualized Concentration. RC faculty advisors assist students with academic planning and personal concerns.
Residential College students are required to live in East Quadrangle for the first two years of the undergraduate program. East Quadrangle houses administrative and faculty offices, classrooms, a library, art and music studios, a theatre, a computer room, a language laboratory, a snack shop, and other facilities supportive of the academic and community life of the Residential College.
A degree from the Residential College requires:
1. A First Year Seminar (Core 100).
2. Foreign language study through proficiency and an upper-level seminar in the language (or the equivalent twenty credits in a language not taught in Residential College).
3. An LS&A area distribution plan (both RC and LS&A courses may be included).
4. A course in Race or Ethnicity (ROE).
5. A concentration chosen from among regular LS&A or Residential College concentration programs, or an individualized concentration program elected through the Residential College.
6. An upper level writing course.
7. An arts practicum.
8. Students are expected to complete four to six RC courses (depending on the field of concentration) beyond completion of the First-Year Seminar and the RC language requirement.
9. A minimum of 120 credits.
10. At least 60 credits outside the area of concentration.
Candidates for a Residential College degree must be in good academic standing and fulfill all Residential College and LS&A requirements for graduation. Residential College students are graded by written evaluations instead of letter grades in their RC courses but have the option of electing letter grades when they attain junior standing or take upper-level RC courses. RC students receive letter grades in LS&A courses. The Residential College confers only the A.B. and B.S. degrees; it does not grant the B.G.S. degree.
University of Michigan students interested in Residential College programs and courses should contact the RC Counseling Office (134 Tyler, East Quadrangle, 763-0032) or visit in person. Others should contact the RC Admissions Office, 133 Tyler, East Quadrangle, 763-0176.
Most RC courses are open to LS&A students and may be used to meet distribution requirements.
