In Brazilian universities, required classes are a fundamental part of the 'currículo' (curriculum) and are essential for degree completion. Unlike the more flexible American system, Brazilian higher education typically has a more rigid set of required courses that students must complete. In the USA, 'required classes' usually refer to general education requirements and major-specific prerequisites, giving students more flexibility in choosing electives.
