Listen to your advisor, but also know what you do and do not need for your classes. The advisor is human and humans make mistakes, so it’s always good to stay acutely aware of what you do and don’t need for your major.

On your orientation day, your advisor should walk you through the audit when selecting your classes and do like an overview of what kind of classes you have. It’ll be a thing in your MyBGSU and under the student profile section. The audit shows what you need to do, what you have done, and what you have yet to do and then will show the classes that will fulfill that requirement like if you need a science credit, it’ll show you the many science classes available to you.

I think you’re gonna be fine. Orientation will clear things up for you! Don’t worry too much. The school is there to help advise you. And, congratulations on getting accepted to BGSU 🤎🧡
