<p>Hi Glen,</p>
<p>While I’m not a business major and can’t answer ALL your questions, I can volunteer some basic info to get you started. </p>
<ol>
<li><p>Seeing as UR is in the suburbs of a big city, yes, there are lots of internship opportunities. The “city” (you know, skyscrapers and whatnot) is only about 10-20 minutes away from campus, depending where you’re going. Although it’s further away (about 2 hours), DC is obviously abound with internship opportunities as well. Our CDC (career development center) can help you find and apply for whatever internship you want.</p></li>
<li><p>You can start taking business classes whenever your heart desires. Most students start with micro and macro, as those are <em>mostly</em> freshman classes to begin with, but still kinda hard to get into. Business classes are notoriously difficult to get into if you haven’t declared a business major yet, so most people declare at the beginning of sophomore year so that they can get into all their classes.</p></li>
<li><p>UR’s general education requirements are the following: CORE (a year-long literature class all freshmen are required to take), English 103 (this can be placed out of with a score in the high 600’s on your Writing SAT), math, literature, visual & performing arts, science, social analysis (psych, sociology, etc), history, and a foreign language.</p></li>
<li><p>Again, I don’t have much experience with this, but from what I’ve heard, they’re very good.</p></li>
<li><p>We have one of the best undergrad business programs in the nation (rated top 25 by US Weekly), so I’m assuming we’re respected, but I don’t know for sure. Haha.</p></li>

<p>Sorry I’m not <em>too</em> knowledgeable on the subject, but I hope I helped! Overall, UR’s undergrad business program is an awesome one.</p>
