<p>I don't really get how these two programs go together. Plan II, from the website, seems to be very liberal arts oriented while BHP is obviously for students in McCombs. I have heard that many people are in both of these programs, though. Is it that for every non-business course the person will take a Plan II course instead of a regular course? I want to take a lot of Japanese language and culture classes, but other than that I;m not sure what being in Plan II will allow me to do. Any explanations for why people are in BHP and Plan II and how Plan II works with a business major would be appreciated. Thanks~</p>
<p>Plan II and BHP/Business work well together. This combination gives you a business degree and a liberal arts education.</p>
<p>The Plan II advising manual has a course schedule online for Plan II and BHP. Go to the website: <a href="http://www.utexas.edu/cola/plan2/advising/%5B/url%5D">http://www.utexas.edu/cola/plan2/advising/</a>. Then click on "Plan II Advising Manual" in the white horizontal boxes. Once the download is complete, go to page 32 for the sample course schedule.</p>
<p>There are required courses in Plan II and business but there is some overlap in these courses. You should have sufficient elective hours to take some Japanese language classes, especially if you need to satisfy the foreign language requirement (2 years in any one language). However, even if you take Japanese solely as an elective, one of the benefits of attending a large university is the chance to take interesting courses and subjects. Plan II advisers in particular encourage you to take at least a few courses that aren't in your major</p>
<p>Of course, some people start out as Business/Plan II dual majors and then drop one or change to another major or combination of majors. You don't always end up liking in college what you thought you would like. When I attended the Plan II parents' orientation, they had a senior Plan II major who had changed majors several times - starting as a freshman majoring in business and ending up as a senior majoring in Russian literature.</p>
