The concept of compulsory modules is central to both Brazilian and American educational systems. In Brazil, these are typically defined in the 'matriz curricular' (curriculum matrix) and students have limited flexibility in course selection. In the US, 'general education requirements' serve a similar function. Both systems require students to complete foundational knowledge before pursuing specialized electives.
