Princeton gives its students much freedom within their distribution requirements. Rather than requiring a small number of specific courses, each student can take many courses that fall into a variety of “general education areas.” There are six distribution requirements in the humanities and social sciences: Culture and Difference, Epistemology and Cognition, Ethical Thought and Moral Values, Historical Analysis (HA), Literature and the Arts, and Social Analysis (SA). A.B. students are required to take one course in each category, other than Literature and the Arts and SA, in which they are required to take two courses. Doubling up in these categories implies that they are particularly important for Princetonians. Social Analysis is one of those prioritized subjects — but, as has become obvious in recent protests, good social analysis relies on a deep understanding of history. For this reason, Princeton should add a second Historical Analysis requirement to accompany the second Social Analysis requirement — because the latter cannot exist without the former.
