Ah, that makes sense, then. That's why I was puzzled! We have what are called General Education credits, most of which are largely disconnected from the major, so you've got it pretty much right on. The Milgram experiment is pretty much one of the most basic concepts in Psychology 101 (which is either your gen-ed psych credit, or an entry-level psych course before you get into the major). Most Gen-ed credits are done within the first two years while the last two are devoted to your major. Example, in my first year, I took some entry-level Communications courses, but I also took writing, math, psychology, and history, among other things. I could have gone without the math :( I didn't know that difference between universities, it's fascinating and explains why I was confused!

So yeah, I've been taught the ins and outs of the Milgram experiment, among others, though I can never recall their names. I'm really surprised only one of them knew it regardless, though. It's such a telling experiment and so interesting in terms of the human mind.

...Wow, look at me ramble, you can tell I almost switched my major to psych :D
