Most also take Computers in Management (half the class is learning Excel, the other half learning about Information Systems), statistics, calc, and some students squeeze in Business Law or Financial Accounting. Those are pretty standard freshman year CSOM classes, plus whatever university core you decide to take. For example, my first semester was: Portico, Stat, Perspectives (counts as two classes), First Year Writing. Of course, things change with the addition of AP/IB credit, etc. </p></li>

For a lot of the university core requirements there are several different classes that will fulfill the same requirement.</p></li>
