Okay… here is a quick description. In general, freshmen will take four to five classes (the fifth would be one or two units, maybe a freshman seminar [FSEM | USC Schedule of Classes](302 Found) or a PE class [PHED | USC Schedule of Classes](302 Found) )

If the student is in Thematic Option, they will definitely take Core 102 and Core 111 first semester of their freshman year. They can also take more TO classes if they want to, but many will take classes towards their majors. Here are the TO courses:

If you really want to see some course descriptions, I have them for the courses NOT including 102 (because I couldn’t take them anyway). PM me and I will email them to you. However, your student will also get those course descriptions and one on one advising from a TO person at orientation.

Spaces are held in certain classes that open up at every orientation session, so being at a late one won’t kill your chances for a certain class, even if it appears to be full.

The rest of the courses taken first semester depend on major. For example, if your student is pre-med, they will probably take Bio 120 and Chem 105a. I don’t know much of anything about other majors.
