Good ol' Ways: The history of Ways general education requirements

Stanford’s Ways of Thinking/Ways of Doing system for undergraduate breadth requirements allows students to choose from a set of nearly 2,000 approved courses to count toward their degree. Although the Ways system has been in effect for a decade now, disparities remain in the number of Ways-approved courses across departments and the categories of Ways requirements. Social Inquiry is the most widely available Ways credit, as opposed to Ethical Reasoning, which is more than five times as scarce, The Daily found in an analysis of ExploreCourses for 2023–24. Additionally, some students expressed an appreciation of Ways and the courses it guided them to discover, as well as concern over balancing breadth with major-specific requirements, which can range from 55 to 116 units of core and depth depending on the program.
