  3. Materials It is up to YOU to check your schedule and make sure you are in the right classes! • You’ll need: • Your current fall schedule • Advising Manual* • Advising form* • Something to write with *Form and Manual can be found under Advising Documents and Resources at http://www.unr.edu/business/college-resources/academic-advising

  4. College of Business Check your current major! New business students start as Pre-Major, Business Administration (PMBA), and later declare a major upon completion of the pre-business core: • Accounting • Economics • Finance • General Business • Information Systems • Accounting/Information Systems • International Business • Marketing • Management

  5. 15 to Finish • Most classes are 3 units • There are some exceptions (ex. ENG 100J: 5 units) • Aim to complete 15 units/5 classes every semester • Check Financial Aid award letter to determine number of credits needed for aid to disburse A minimum of 120 units are required for College of Business majors.

  6. Sample Schedules • Suggestions: • Enroll in 15 credits • Please note ENG 100J and Math 126 are 5 credit classes (two credits more than traditional math and English classes). • Talk to an Advisor before enrolling in more than the recommended 15 credits. • Be Flexible • Stick to the Pre-Business checklist • Balance University Core Curriculum and Pre-Business classes Pg. 25 of your Advising Manual

  7. Helpful Definitions • MyNEVADA may not allow you to enroll in certain classes because they require prerequisites or co-requisites: • PREREQUISITE: a class that must be completed prior to enrolling in a subsequent class • Ex. IS 101 is a prerequisite for ECON 261R • CO-REQUISITE: a course that is required to be taken simultaneously with another course • Ex. MATH 126 is a co-requisite for ECON 102 • Although not all upper division courses have prerequisites, freshmen are encouraged to take 100 & 200 level classes • Upper division (300-400 level classes) business classes have a similar prerequisite: Students must be declared business majors or minors before they can enroll • You may have a class that has a LEC and a DIS section to the course. (E.g. Math 126): • LEC: is the large class where the professor lectures and presents all the relevant information for the day. • DIS: is a small group section to the course where you discuss the information presented in the LEC section, do quizzes, turn in homework, ask questions, etc. • Attendance is mandatory for both components of the course.

I think the class is very supportive…” “I already knew that I would get my degree in marketing, but the presentations in the class helped me get some insight into the kind of people I would be dealing with in my future.” “I would always leave so inspired from the speakers.” “Overall, I recommend this course for anyone who is interested in a business major or is undecided.”
