<p>bthomp1, you’re right - A201 and A202 allow you to take upper-level accounting classes, not upper-level finance classes. I got confused because many upper-level accounting classes are required for the Finance major. I knew not having A201 and A202 completed yet was preventing my daughter from taking any classes that count toward the Finance major, I just forgot that they are classified as accounting classes, not finance. I assume those same classes count toward the Accounting major, which I’m not familiar with since my daughter is not an accounting major :)</p>
<p>Either way, I think taking A201, A202, E201 and E202 as early as possible gives a student more flexibility in spreading out classes for their major. </p>
<p>But (and it’s a big BUT), as my daughter is finding out, meeting the prerequisites does not mean you will be able to register for the class, because they might all be closed by the time you register! My daughter registers today and is facing the frustrating fact that two of the 5 classes she was planning to take next semester are already filled with wait lists that are longer than the number of seats in the class. This is throwing off her entire 4-year plan and she may have to give up on the Technology Management co-major. If only she had taken A202 this semester. Sigh… And the reason she didn’t take A202 this semester is because she wanted to take A207 (the honors version) which is only offered spring semester, and she just texted me that all sections of A207 are full! </p>
<p>Sorry to hijack this thread with my rant, thanks for listening :)</p>
