What would be the best classes to take in my final semester?

Question

I am currently four semesters (2 years) away from graduating and earning a BA in English. I am actually only 3 semesters from completing all GE and major requirements but, due to a poor freshman showing, I'll still be 5 classes short of the total 120 units we need to graduate. That means I'll be able to choose any 5 classes from the catalog I want in that final semester.

So, I'm wondering what might be some classes that would be worth taking. I won't be able to complete anything and get a minor with this one semester so I figured I do one of two things. Which might be better:

1. Take 5 business administration classes. I think it couldn't hurt to know a thing about business, even if it's just the basics. In addition, I would like to possibly try to gain admittance to a Masters program in business after getting my BA. I figured this would be the best way to make an attempt at that.

2. Taking five totally different classes. This would be a way to experience a variety of different things before graduating. What works against this is that I've already taken a decent range of classes my first two years when I was trying to decide on a major and I think it might be better to take 5 of the same area and learn a little more about that than a little about a number of different things.

What do you think? Better option? What might you do in the situation?

Answer 1

Take classes that you truly have an interest in.  I was an econ major, but really enjoy history.  History classes were fun, interesting, and i passed without much effort because it was a subject i enjoyed.  I would offer you the same advice.  If you have an interest in Bus Admin, takes those.  Seeking advice from your career counselor would be the best step for you in regards to the admissions requirements and prerequisites for grad school.  Take advantage of the free services they provide.  Best of Luck.
