How Do I Decide Which Classes To Take?

Things To Consider When Picking Classes

• Some students report that taking math and English the same quarter can be overwhelming. Consider taking them different quarters.
• Have a backup plan. What will you take if your first choice for a class is full? What could you take instead if you go to the first day and decide it’s not for you?
• Ask current and former students which classes they enjoyed and why.
• Consider your responsibilities and commitments. Be realistic about how much time you have to spend in class, doing homework, family commitments, and work responsibilities. Don’t set yourself up to fail.
• As you look for classes to fulfill requirements, keep your eyes open for classes that inspire interest and may relate to what you’re interested in as a career. You’ll do better and find the class easier if the subject is something you’re interested in.
• Explore new subjects. The AAS degree requires that you take a broad range of classes to expand your knowledge base and help you develop as a well-rounded learner.
• Speak with your adviser about your career interests and get help selecting relevant courses.
