core class
Mandatory academic subject
A core class is a required course that forms part of a curriculum's foundation, as opposed to electives students choose freely.
In education, core classes typically cover fundamental subjects—math, science, English, history: She needs two more core classes to graduate.
The term also appears in fitness contexts, where a core class focuses on abdominal and back muscles.
