<p>I am confused as to what classes I can pick for college. I am currently a senior and applying and I was wondering how does picking classes work. So for example I know I need to take my general classes such as english and math, then I know I take classes relating to my major (marketing), but I was wondering if I can take "fun" classes. I want to take foreign language classes and was wondering if colleges will allow that if I am applying for a specific school such as NYU's Stern</p>
<p>That’s something to concern yourself once you’re in a college. Course catalogs over the summer – will guide you.</p>
<p>I am a senior in high school</p>
<p>It is very very simple. You will get the hang of it when you get to your college.</p>
<p>For me, they just have areas you need to satisfy for your general education requirements and you take classes that fall under those headings that are mentioned in the catalog.</p>
<p>As for your major, there’s often a sheet that tells you what classes you need to take to graduate.</p>
<p>You can take classes unrelated to your major. However it’s important to meet with an advisor / counselor. They’ll help you pick your classes.</p>
<p>have you even gotten accepted anywhere yet? let’s start there…a lotta people (myself included) I know didnt even think about what to sign up for until right before going to orientation</p>
<p>I know you’re probably really excited and anxious about college and I understand, but it’s WAY too early to start worrying about choosing classes. It’s different for every school, and they’ll give you plenty of time to prepare. Don’t waste your time researching NYU Stern’s method of selecting classes–you don’t know if you’ll get in or if you’ll get enough in financial aid/scholarships, and you should have better things to do.</p>
<p>You choose courses after you decide which college.</p>
<p>Typically, you would start with your major, or possible majors if undecided, and look up which courses you need to get started on the major(s), based on prerequisite sequences. You would also consider whether AP, IB HL, or college credit going in lets you start in a more advanced course, based on the college’s recommendations. Usually, you also take other courses not in your major to cover breadth / core / distribution requirements.</p>
