2 Hello and welcome to our favorite part of the summer: course selections! As you will automatically be placed in your required courses, this is your opportunity to pick something fun, challenging and/or previously unknown to you. If you need an academic elective, you can choose from a wide selection of courses from the College of Arts and Sciences; for example a language (pages 3-6), quantitative/math (page 7), science/math (pages 8-9), humanities (pages 10-12) or social science (page 13-15). If a placement exam is required, there will be a notice at the top. There will also be a few courses offered by the School of Education (top of page 3) and the College of Visual and Performing Arts (page 16-17). If you need a studio elective, you can choose from the list of options on page 18. Not every major within VPA needs a studio, please review your FTES page to see what your requirements are as space is limited. We will do our best to enroll you in your first choice for electives. However, due to available seats and scheduling conflicts, as your required courses take precedence, that might not happen. You will have between 7 and 9 more semesters at Syracuse University, so you will have future opportunities. Below is a guide for how you input your course selections: We wish you a wonderful summer and look forward to meeting you in August!
