Thanks, fallenchemist. I smiled when I read your post, as I’ve already done what you suggest, including checked out that description of the freshman colloquium and the TIDES courses. I can’t make a final decision until I visit campus, but, based on everything I’ve read here and on Tulane’s website, I have a feeling I’m going to absolutely love Tulane and New Orleans.

My school offers few APs, so I’ll probably only place out of French, Lit, Calc BC, Psych, USHist, and Stat. I’m planning on majoring in applied mathematics/statistics/economics as well as continuing with French or starting on a new foreign language (goal is to become fluent).

Do you know whether Tulane has a comprehensive course catalog that lists all of the course descriptions in one place? Also, can one take courses from the business school without being a business major, per se?

I noticed some interesting graduate courses - are these open to undergrads, assuming prerequisites are met?

Is the freshman seminar taught jointly by all three of those professors, or just one professor per section? Also, do you know whether the seminar is a lot of work - looks very interesting, but may entail a lot of reading?

Again, thanks to everyone for all your information. Can’t wait to see Tulane!
