Picking classes

I am really enjoying the bachelors program and that I can pick meaningful electives that are related to my major in Paralegal Studies. Every quarter when the new course schedule comes out I study it and plan what classes I am going to take in the next quarter. I think it is very important to carefully plan my schedule, because I don't want to unnecessarily delay my graduation. Some classes are only offered in certain quarters, so it is important to be aware of that when planning. I am currently picking an choosing electives from all kinds of different majors to complement my interests: Diversity Perspectives from the HR coursework, Legal Aspects of Health Care from the healthcare management degree, Social, Legal and Ethical Issues in Computing from the computer science program. It is amazing what you can find to enhance your degree and your marketability. Don't just pick from the general electives category just to fill that spot in your planner with something. Remember, you are paying a lot of money for your degree, so make it count. Think outside the box and pick classes that will actually benefit you in your career. If you want to be able to move up, and your are not a business or management major you can still take some of their classes and when you go to an interview you can add that to your credentials.
