<p>If you are an accepted student who will be attending Wake - over the summer they create a whole section of the website geared towards entering freshman. One of the sections focuses on academics and gives you a very clear outline of the required courses that most students knock out freshman year, and the divisional requirements that must be completed by graduation. There is a worksheet that you print out and fill in with the courses you want to take first semester - you bring this with you when you meet with your faculty advisor in August - and then you register for courses. </p>
<p>You asked about math courses - there is a divisional requirement for 2 courses in math and science - that’s before getting into requirements for your major.</p>
<p>Most freshman take FYS 100 - the freshman seminar - in the fall - some might take it in the spring. Most take HES 100 and 101 - these are 8 week health courses. Most take English 111, unless exempt through AP credit. Most take foreign language - need to have a 200 level course completed to graduate - many need to take 2 or 3 semesters of language to get to that level. And then it is picking courses that satisfy the divisional requirements. keep in mind you don’t always get your first choice - it is good to have 3-4 alternate selections when it is time to register.</p>
