Is this schedule too hard?

Taking A312 Icore semester seems very tough. Some take Icore and A311 in their Fall semester, and that is very difficult. Icore is very time consuming. A lot of students get into study groups of four or so students and study together outside of class. A312 would demand a lot of study time, and lots of time during the case assignment at the end of the semester.

Are you double majoring in accounting and something else, like finance. Finance requires only two extra classes to double major in with accounting.

I assume you are taking INTL I204 to meet the world cultures gen ed requirement (since E201 and E202 meet the S&H requirement). What about taking something that would fulfill the World Cultures requirement at Ivy Tech online this summer and then taking another upper level accounting class this fall in Kelley. If you did not take INTL I204 this fall and took an Ivy Tech substitute this summer (FINA A100; HIST H103; and HIST H104 equivalents transfer to IUB and may be offered at some Ivy Tech campuses online this summer; their system was down, so I could not check; I don’t think any other Ivy Tech classes fulfill the World Cultures requirement), you could take A329 Tax this fall, and still have 15 credits that semester.

Then, next Spring, with Icore, take a required Kelley upper level that isn’t as demanding as A312, maybe BUS-L 375 ETHICS & 21ST CENT BUS LEADER (2 CR), which meets only the first ten weeks of the semester and would not interfere with Icore finals and the case assignment.

That would leave you for senior year A312 the following Fall semester and A324 and A422 or A437 in spring. The other accounting classes you would need for the major that year would be A337 and C301 (1 cr.). X420 and J375 will be needed and are five credits, which makes 18 for senior year with the accounting classes. That leaves 15 credits to get the finance double major or just take nine more credits for supplemental courses for the accounting major alone. With the accounting/finance double major it would be 33 credits for the year; accounting alone would be 27.

Maybe take X420 in Fall 2014; it only meets eight weeks. Then senior year would be 31 (accounting/finance double major) or 25 credits (accounting major alone).
