Fall Courses and Scheduling

Fall Courses and Scheduling

To help ease your academic transition, a team of faculty members will create your fall term schedule for you. Fill out your Course Information Form to tell us your goals and interests, and we’ll match you with the classes that fit your passions and BSC’s degree requirements so you’ll start off on the right track.

Your academic advisor—whom you’ll meet at Fall Orientation—will help guide you through the BSC curriculum and the range of courses you’ll be expected to take to get all the skills you need in communication, creative problem solving, civic engagement, and more.

First-Year students, we will schedule you for three or four courses equaling three to four units during your first term to help with your transition to college. This is equivalent to 12-16 semester hours (1 BSC unit = 4 semester hours). For now, know that we’ll use the information you share with us to place you in courses that make you a full-time student and set you up for a successful first term at BSC. The goal for the first year is to build a strong foundation for your remaining time here, so we will work with you to ensure that:

  • You are in classes that fit well with your background and interests.
  • You develop effective written communication skills by taking a First-Year seminar in writing and critical thinking.
  • You explore possible majors by taking introductory courses in several disciplines. You won’t need to declare a major until spring of your sophomore year; trying out different majors now will help you decide what suits you best.
  • You broaden your knowledge by taking courses in disciplines you haven’t studied or even considered before. Now is a great time to experience something new.

If any students have questions about fall scheduling, please contact Professor Kim Lewis at (205) 226-4769 or [email protected]
