It is recommended that you sign up for 15-16 credits.  \nProfessional school prerequisites. If a class is full, add yourself to a waitlist. If the class doesn’t have a waitlist option, check back frequently to look for openings. Make sure you register for a math class each semester until you are finished with math/stats.  \nGeneral Education and Introductory courses are to help you satisfy the general education requirements needed to graduate. You should take one or more of these courses each semester until they are completed. Individual majors may have recommendations for the breadth courses below.
