Freshman Classes

College Majors Business Major
1

<p>I will be an incoming freshman this year with a goal of becoming an investment banker by majoring in finance. I have a lot of friends who end up attending UNC and get advice from people who have attended in the past on what courses to take during freshman year in order to sustain a good GPA and be on the right track for their predicted major; however, I only know of one person who has attended Wake Forest and that was in the past. I need some help on deciding which courses to take freshman year.</p>

<p>I understand that I have to apply for the undergrad business school during my sophomore year and these are the requirements:
Completion of 49 hours with an overall grade point average of 2.7
Completion of ECN 150, MTH 111 or 112 (MTH 112 or the equivalent for the Mathematical Business major), ACC 111 (with a minimum C grade in each course) and one additional business course (ACC 221, BEM 201, 221, 251, 261, or FIN 231)</p>

<p>These are graduation requirements
Division Departments Number of Courses Required
I. Humanities History; Philosophy; Religion 2*
II. Literatures Literatures Written in English (English Department) In English Translation (Classical Languages, East Asian Languages and Cultures, German and Russian, and the Program in Humanities) 1
III. Fine Arts Art, Music, Theatre and Dance 1
IV. Social Sciences Anthropology, Communication, Economics, Education, Politics and International Affairs, Psychology, Sociology 2*
V. Math and Natural Sciences Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics 2*
* must be in two different departments </p>

<p>I am going in with 6 credit hours, I will complete COM 110 (Public Speaking) and ENG 107 (Foundations in Academic Research and Writing) this summer. I am very weak in science, so I was thinking about taking a class in mathematics and computer science. Please give some feedback.</p>

<p>same boat, i want to transfer to there or NCSU when i get CC done (im going in for science, probably chemistry)</p>

<p>Here is some classes for central carolina, <a href=“http://www.cccc.edu/curriculum/guides/A10400.pdf”>http://www.cccc.edu/curriculum/guides/A10400.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>at the bottom is a good class schedule that many if not all public universities in NC will take as freshman and sophomore gen ed. </p>

<p>although i will probably be going to FTCC, CCCC is a great school for any student that needs a good start so if i were you i would do what they require (although you do not need to go to their school). keep in mind though, to even really be considered for transfer to UNC you need to keep a 3.5 at least (if memory serves 3.7 is the norm) and they only admit 900 transfers annually on average</p>

<p>at UNC you NEED to take calculus to even get in the business admin program and i imagine finance would be similar. that said comp sci and calculus level math will help you far more than Bio or Chem for business programs. </p>

<p>i would read this <a href=“http://www.unc.edu/depts/uc/Students/Transfer.html”>http://www.unc.edu/depts/uc/Students/Transfer.html&lt;/a&gt; as it offers many requirements that transfers need to meet (although in my opinion is quite vague)</p>

<p>good luck @keezyp</p>
