I would double check what O Gmudboner posted. I suggest taking 14-15 hours your first semester, not 16. You have high aspirations, so your GPA will dictate which direction your college career will lead you. Do not take gen ed classes just to fill your schedule. Think seriously about taking some at a junior college over the summers or on-line. My daughters lowest grades have been in the “easy gen ed” classes, so be careful!

I don’t think MUS-Z counts towards World Cultures. I looked it up and it is in the Arts and Humanities.

It is tough to work ahead in the business classes. Enrollment is based only on how many hours you have completed, and believe me, there are a ton of kids taking the business courses, and they will be in line ahead of you. Many students minor in business, so older students can fill the seats in classes you thought would be easy to get.

All of the Kelley course must be completed before one can apply to take I Core. I asked my daughter ( who is a current sophomore and was a direct admit to Kelley, Hutton Honors College, and Business Honors) about Sophomores taking I Core and she did not think that was even a possibility.

Good luck!
