<p>So I’ve taken a look at the Schedule of Classes to get an idea of what classes I could take next year at USC (I’m a spring '09 admit), and somehow, I couldn’t find out how many units the General Education Requirements constitute. I’d just like to know how many units each GE course is worth. Anybody know how I can find that out?
Speaking of units: You need at least 128 units for a degree. Is it possible to squeeze GE, your major, and a minor into that, or does that typically require more units?</p>
<p>4 units per course, 32 units per year, which works out to 4 courses per semester. GE, major and minor should be absolutely no problem, IMO. Two majors will require careful planning.</p>
<p>For a double major, can courses overlap? For example, can a particular course that’s offered in both be applied to both majors, or does one need a certain amount of units for each major?
Also, can GE courses be chosen that would count towards the major, or minor?</p>
<p>So that would be 24 units for categories I to VI, another 4 for the Diversity requirement, and 4+3 for Writing 140 and 340. No Foreign Language requirement for me, since I’m an international student, muahah That’s 35 in total. So if my major’s requirements add up to 44 units, I could basically “spend” the rest of the remaining units on electives and/or a minor? Is that how it works?</p>
<p>awelex - yes, that’s how it works. And some of your major req’s might satisfy one of the GE’s or diversity req. E.g., for critical studies, and I think for production, there’s a race/gender in film class that is required, and also meets the diversity requirement. </p>
<p>Sequoia - yes, some GE’s do count toward some majors. I don’t know about the overlap, but it seems logical that would work.</p>
<p>Thanks rainmama.
It’ going to be quite an undertaking figuring out the courses.</p>
<p>Thank you all for your answers!</p>
