Are LC students allowed to take classes in CBA?

In general, students at LC and RH can take whatever classes they want, provided they meet the prerequisites for attendance and their schedules permit. CBA is a separate school from Fordham College-Rose Hill, though they live together and take core requirements together. I know kids at RH who are business minors, and have taken econ classes. Thus, there may not be any impediment to doing so from LC unless your schedule prohibits it. The RamVan provides transportation back and forth between campuses on nearly a 24/7 basis.

However, most if not all of your freshman year at LC will be taken up with core classes anyway. Working on a minor can be done piecemeal throughout your four years at Fordham, or can be done in more concentrated form. When you get to Fordham you will be assigned both a student mentor and an academic advisor. I would suggest asking them how this is accomplished. Many RH students take classes at LC (Russian and Chinese, for example) . Your first semester LC will determine your schedule, which you receive at move in Orientation in September. After that, you sign up for classes on your own, with the assistance of your advisor, using the OASIS system (which I heard they are replacing with a new system). There is a pecking order to priorities in getting in classes, and your AP classes can affect that. Classes fill up quickly as Fordham tries to keep a limit on class size. Sometimes classes fill up, but then if you keep checking, someone drops and you can slip in. Some classes are very popular so you have to be on top of things.

Good luck.
