Fall Term Schedule

Here's what my schedule looks like for next Fall term. I'm only going to be taking 3 classes per term next year because I have 9 left to take to graduate on time with a minor in music. I could graduate early and not get a minor in music, but I figure why not take the one extra class so I can get another line on my transcript?

The 3 classes I'm taking this term are:

• MKTG 420 - Marketing Communications:
  
• A Marketing concentration pre-requisite that deals with advertising, sales promotions, public relations, and personal selling.
  
• MGMT 415 - Human Resources Management:
• This class is a business elective not affiliated with any concentration, and since we have to take 2 business electives outside of our concentration, here's the first.
• MKTG 445 - New Product Development:
• This is a marketing elective designed for entrepreneurs, but it sounds so fascinating and relevant that I couldn't pass it up, even if it is hard. It deals with techniques for analyzing and developing new markets, and the pricing, communication, and distribution of new products or services with limited resources.

Then, I also enrolled in FIN 380 - Financial Markets & Investments as a fall-back class in case I find out I don't want to take MKTG 445. It deals with financial markets and security investment decisions, analysis of risk and return, portfolio policies for individual and institutional investors, and financial instruments. It's taught by a professor I got an A from in the last class I took with her, and Amanda is taking it, and it's a business elective outside my concentration, so I figured it would be a safe plan B.

So there you have it. Taking 3 classes should give me time to better study for the classes I'm taking and have more free time my senior year to hunt for a job, work with the athletic department, or relax and do nothing. All good options. Hopefully three 400-level classes won't be too overwhelming, but the one I'm in now (that I have a midterm in later today) is going well this term, so I think it will be alright.
