Possible Classes...

I should receive my registration information packet from Talbot in the mail soon. After that I'll be able to connect with an advisor to see what classes I should take in my first semester. I don't know yet how many units I will take... it might depend on what job I end up with. Anyway, I did some looking around on the Talbot website and I would guess that my first semester would include 2-4 of the following classes:
