Academic Plan
I’ve devised the following academic plan should my petition be granted. This plan will allow me to balance my coursework, exchange, and Certificate of Business while staying on track for degree completion.
Course Selection: If my petition is approved, I plan to add either GPHY 228 or WRIT 250 to my current course load. I am planning on switching into ECON-APEC, as I am now in just ECON-BAH. I feel my progress with the business certificate and the course options in APEC are better suited for me. These courses align with the list of APEC requirements and will help reduce the course load I will need to manage next year. On exchange I plan to take:
1-2 ECON courses (at least 1 at 300-level)
3-4 electives
(they have been approved in my petition for that and I am in discussions with my undergarduate chair and the international exchange office to sort all of this out)
Therefore next year I will need to complete:
1 more APEC or any econ (if this is approved)
1 econ 300 level and above (after at least 1 on exchange)
4 4th year courses required
3 electives
2 of my remaining business certificate courses
I then would be enrolled in 6 courses each semester, I may opt to take 1-2 courses in the summer. Overall, without adding one of these courses this semester it would be an even more stressful course load next year. I am also open to taking an online elective(can be discussed) this semester if these courses are unavailable, but would preferably take one of these.
Time Management: I will ensure that I allocate appropriate time for each course, using a structured weekly study schedule. This will allow me to balance my academic obligations with personal responsibilities.
Use of Support Resources: I will continue to seek guidance from my academic advisor and take advantage of available campus resources, including tutoring and writing support, to maintain strong academic performance.
By following this plan, I am confident that I will be able to manage my academic responsibilities and successfully complete my degree.
