<p>If I were to apply to CAS (probably econ major) would it be easy for me to take finance classes in AEM? I am really into finance but I don't know if I have enough experience to know that this is what I want to do for 4 years (or at least I am not sure enough to apply to AEM). So will I be free to take plenty of classes or is my asking this question imply I should apply to AEM?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I’m in CAS but will definitely be taking classes in AEM…there are intro finance courses so I wouldn’t worry about your previous experience.</p>
<p>In CAS, the number of outside classes you’re allowed to take is unlimited (as long as you take at least 100 CAS credits). In CALS, you’re limited in the number of CAS courses you can take. Certainly apply to AEM if you think you’d fit the program, but also know that it’s easy to take AEM courses even in CAS.</p>

<p>no you’re not. as long as you take 55 credits in CALS, you can take as many other classes in other school as you want. 55 credits is really easy to accomplish since a lot of classes are crosslisted between CALS and other schools - ie: BIOG 1109 is under CAS and CALS. </p>
<p>keep in mind that all AEM majors are given priority first in AEM classes. given that it’s not only a required class for all AEM majors and it is a popular class in and of itself, you might not be able to get into AEM 3240 (finance) the first semester you try. first of all, you have all of the AEM juniors taking it and then you have seniors/juniors from other colleges taking it too. but then again, AEM 3240 is a huge class, as are many other intro AEM classes so you probably won’t have a problem.</p>
<p>Okay, I should clarify: if you take over a certain number of outside credits, you’ll end up paying extra tuition for them. But then again, I’ve heard that very few students ever really reach the limit…?</p>
<p>If you’re really stuck, definitely look at the differences between CAS and CALS (different requirements, different tuition for NYS residents, etc.)</p>

<p>yeah, that’s true, but idk how/why this argument is valid/fair any more, especially since OOS students in contract colleges now pay the same tuition as every student in endowed colleges. plus, CALS is the only college with this limitation, as far as i know.</p>
