Accounting Courses over Summer

Hi Jace,

I am an econ major doing a possible emphasis in accounting, and I have the same question. (Except I’m planning to take three classes. Eek.)

I think it really depends on how well you handle condensed material, the difficulty of the class(es) you are taking, and the professors (are they hard graders? lots of homework? ratemyprofessors will save you a lot of trouble). I took 8 credits last summer (Trig & College Algebra and Psychology) and maintained a 4.0. Hopefully that gives you some encouragement.

I personally love condensed material and learning things quickly, even though it’s a huge challenge. I’m also thinking of working part-time this summer (<20 hrs/wk), and again it really depends on the person and the type of work. I’m thinking that my courseload this summer might make me a little bit crazy, but it’ll be worth it in the long haul.

I’m looking forward to anything anyone else has to say on this subject. Good luck!
