Choosing First-Semester Courses

  • A semester course load usually consists of four 4-credit courses and possibly a 1-credit seminar.
  • If you plan to take French or Spanish, take the French/Spanish Placement Test before June orientation. Your advisor will receive the results of your test.
  • First-year students usually take courses numbered in the 400s and 500s.
