<p>Greetings all students/alumni of Kelley School of Business,</p>

<p>Hello my name is Soon and I am currently out of school from experiencing acute financial problems. I post thread to receive advising from you all. I have entered Kelley School of Business in 2008 and completed 1 year of school and a summer session. I am currently working abroad in South Korea (Mitre Corporation) in hopes of earning money fast enough to return to school. I will work here for about 3 years.</p>

<p>Here is my academic situation.
I plan to take A-201, A-202, and E-202, as well as an S&H gen-ed class here in Korea. </p>

<p>After completing all the classes here in Korea, I will have the following classes left to take.</p>

<p>Pre i-core
X-201,e370, x-204, </p>

<p>General Education
NONE(help from lots of high school transfers hehe)</p>

<p>ICORE</p>

<p>Junior/Senior Courses
Bus-Z 302, X-420</p>

<p>Accounting Major Courses
A311, A325, A329, S400, X301, A312, A424 , 3 hours of accounting elective, and 9 credit hour supporting classes</p>

<p>I am currently 20 year old male almost turning 21 in September. Saving time, money, as well as forming a realistic schedule in which I can maintain an A GPA is crucial for me. I currently hold 3.7 GPA. I am willing to take summer classes as well. </p>

<p>Please help me all. I need dire help. </p>

<p>It looks like you already have it planned out fine, or else I’m not seeing your question.</p>

<p>I need to form a hedule. I am just worried that if I take all these 300 400 level classes for the accounting major at the same time, I will fail. I dont want to spend several semester taking these classes either.</p>

<p>“I am just worried that if I take all these 300 400 level classes for the accounting major at the same time, I will fail. I dont want to spend several semester taking these classes either.”</p>

<p>By several semesters do you mean three? It is impossible to meet all of the upper level accounting class requirements unless you do them in at least three semesters, as you need to take A311, then A312, then A424. You can’t take any of these the same semester because of the prerequisite requirements. And you don’t have Icore yet and three of the pre-Icores, so that, too, adds to the semester you will need.</p>

<p>Have you completed your six credits of 300-level (200-level for N&M) distribution option classes?</p>

<p>Here is a schedule that would take four semesters based on what you said you have taken already. There is no way that you can do all you need to do in less than four semesters. You need 59 more credits. That equals about 20 credits per semester if you did them in three semesters.</p>

<p>This schedule you would be at IU from January until May of the next year.</p>

<p>Spring – 15 credits
X201 (3 cr.)
E370 (3 cr.)
X204 (3 cr.)
A311 (3 cr.)
A325 (3 cr.)</p>

<p>Summer – 14 credits
I-Core (14 cr.)</p>

<p>Fall – 15 credits
A312 (3 cr.)
A337 (3 cr.) – this class takes the place of S400 for accounting majors
Z302 (3 cr.)
(required non-accounting elective) (3 cr.)
(required non-accounting elective) (3 cr.)</p>

<p>Spring – 15 credits
A329 (3 cr.)
A424 (3 cr.)
A422 or A437 (3 credits)
X420 (2 cr.) - take first eight weeks
X301 (1 cr.) - take second eight weeks
(required non-accounting elective) (3 cr.)</p>

<p>Also, to keep from taking three accounting classes the last semester, you could stay in Bloomington three weeks longer and take A329 in Intensive Summer Session I. This class is only three weeks and will end before the end of May.</p>

<p>Thank you for your advisement Bthomp1. So it will take me about 2 years… Is this a normal classwork load? And yes, I have received the 300 level class credits from AP credits (calculus BC and physics).</p>

<p>It will take 17 months. It is a tough courseload, but not too bad. Adding A329 to the intensive summer session and taking only 12 credits in the spring will make the senior spring semester much more manageable. You might take management classes for your nine credit concentration, as these are probably the easiest upper level Kelley classes and will give you more time for the hard accounting classes. </p>

<p>Yes, 15 credits is a pretty reasonable load. Accounting majors usually take at least two upper-level accounting classes each semester after taking Icore. You would be taking two of them before I-Core (A311 and A325), and usually only the very ambitious accounting students do that. But you need to take more than three classes your first spring semester to stay on schedule to finish all the degree requirements in 17 months. I can’t think of any other way to finish faster.</p>
