<p>I'm new to this. joining as a freshamn and I want to major in ecnomics and possibly be considered for honours next term. So are there any requirements in taking courses? like a specific number of credits..i couldn't find a guide anywhere on the website...\if someone could link me to one that would be awsome.</p>
<p>I am not sure this will answer all your questions, but it is a good starting point:</p>
<p>Minimum of 12 credits.</p>
<p>This should give you a general idea: <a href="http://advising.unc.edu/newstudents/2007FirstYearGuide.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://advising.unc.edu/newstudents/2007FirstYearGuide.pdf</a></p>
<p>awsome. that helped alot.
but why is it not advised that i take more than 15 credits?
and 15 credits mean 15 hours of tuition in a week for the whole semester right?</p>
<p>sorry - new to this.</p>
<p>Just because it's really difficult to adjust to college classes your first semester, for some people more than others. I ended up taking only 12 and still did pretty badly my first semester, although this semester I'm taking 16 and am doing much better.</p>
