Semester 1 Advising Note: General Education Requirements Quantitative Problem Solving, Scientific Reasoning, Creative Work and Elective satisfied by program. Core courses (i.e. MIG prefix) are only offered once per year and must be taken as scheduled. If needed for financial aid (i.e. 12 credits for full-time) consider taking SOC-101 or ENG-112. If you have completed them, consider taking an introductory language course of interest, which would be valuable in the healthcare profession. Another reasonable alternative would be an art or music class for your personal enrichment and enjoyment. Choose sections that do not conflict with your core courses. Core courses will be demanding, so plan to spend 3-4 hours each day this semester studying outside of class to achieve success as you consider additional courses or work schedules. Keep course work for each class organized and readily accessible for review at the end of the program as you prepare for your national certification exam.
