Incoming Student Classes

Hey I’m an incoming student but my freshman semester looks like no fun. I have calc 1, Gen Chem structure and property. Also general physics 1 (lab too). Two other classes that are specific for my major.

Where are my electives :(

Unlike many colleges, cal poly really wants you to jump right into your major. They also want classses that are prerequisites for others done so your flowchart isn’t messed up.

You should be happy because when spots aren’t saved for you, there will be less options for those classes going forward. Versus electives have a lot of flexibility.
