Semester plan
Spring ’11 Semester
Concentration 1: The class I plan on taking is COM 319 Persuasion/Social Influence. I think it would be useful to learn persuasion skills in most professions and I think it is a skill that would be beneficial to develop more.
Concentration 2: My Family Studies/Child development concentration requires two more upper division classes. One of the classes I would like to take to fill that requirement is FAS 431 Parent-Adolescent Relationships. I think this class would help me expand on some of the information I learned in previous classes.
Core: To fill my core requirement I will take BIS 302 Interdisciplinary Inquiry.
Electives: For my electives I’m not sure what I will take. I’m considering a minor in nonprofit management and leadership so I hope to find online classes to take from that program. My goal is to work in a nonprofit organization with children. Even if I don’t minor in nonprofit I plan to take some of the courses they offer as electives because they would be useful.
Fall ‘11
Concentration 2: I plan on fulfilling my last family studies/child development concentration requirement by taking a special topic class FAS 498 Deviant Behavior, if it is available. If it is not available I could also take FAS 435 Advanced Marriage/family relationships.
Core: For my core requirements I will take BIS 401 Applied Interdisciplinary Studies.
Electives: I want to take some nonprofit management classes during this semester NLM 300 Fund Raising and Resource Development. I would also like to take another history course as an elective because I enjoy history.
Spring ‘12
Core: For my core requirement I plan on taking BIS 412 Senior Seminar.
I will graduate in May of 2012 with a Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies.
