That’s where the advisors come in. Essentially, you don’t get to actually “pick” your classes first semester freshman year. You pick your preferences, and the school makes a schedule for you based on those preferences. You then meet with your advisor during orientation to fine-tune your schedule. Your advisor will be one of your most valuable resources throughout your college career; they’ll help you pick the classes that you need, help you in scheduling your semester, and just help you with general questions. I’m basically friends with my advisor, and I can email her about anything pretty much. So don’t worry too much about what classes your son picks now, it’ll probably change before next semester starts. If he’s looking to get a head-start though, I know the Marine Science department has an advising guide that can be found online that gives the classes required and a suggested 4-year schedule. I’m sure you could probably find something like that for the business school as well. Good luck to your son!
