Advice for All Majors in Their First Four Semesters

  • To avoid problems when you enter your major in your fifth semester, you should focus particular attention on completing MATH 110, ENGL 015, and CMPSC 203 as quickly as possible. Over the third and fourth semesters, you should complete ACCTG 211, ECON 002, BA 243, ECON 004, MIS 204, and MS&IS 200.

  • It is recommended that you take ECON 002 in your third semester and ECON 004 in your fourth semester.

  • It is recommended that you take MS&IS 200 in your fourth semester since MATH 110 or 140 are prerequisites for this course.

  • The sequencing of ACCTG 211, BA 243 and MIS 204 is not critical.  However, you should try to balance these requirements evenly over your third and fourth semesters to avoid problems if you should fail or experience some other difficulty. The remainder of your third and fourth semesters should be devoted to completing your GEN ED requirements.
