Course Selection Advice · 选课咨询
basicHi, I have an appointment to discuss my course schedule for next semester. I am not sure which electives to take.
你好,我预约了讨论下学期课程安排。我不确定选哪些选修课。
💡 美国大学的学业顾问(academic advisor)是每个学生的专属资源。定期见顾问讨论选课是正常且被鼓励的,不像中国大学那样主要靠学生自己决定。
Welcome! Let me pull up your degree audit first. It looks like you have completed most of your core requirements. You still need one humanities elective and one lab science to graduate on time.
欢迎!让我先调出你的学位审核。看起来你已经完成了大部分核心必修课。你还需要一门人文选修和一门实验科学课才能按时毕业。
I am interested in taking an introductory psychology course. Would that count toward my humanities requirement?
我想上一门心理学入门课。这能算人文必修学分吗?
Good news — Psychology 101 does count as a humanities elective here. It is also one of our most popular courses, so I would recommend registering early. Sections fill up fast during enrollment week.
好消息——心理学101在这里确实算人文选修。这也是我们最受欢迎的课程之一,所以我建议你早点注册。选课周名额很快就满了。
What about the lab science? I am worried about my GPA. Is there a course that is manageable for someone who is not a science major?
实验科学课呢?我担心我的GPA。有没有对非理科专业学生比较友好的课?
I usually recommend Environmental Science 110 or Astronomy 101. Both have a hands-on lab component but the workload is reasonable. They also have great student reviews. Pick whichever topic interests you more — you will do better in a class you enjoy.
我通常推荐环境科学110或天文学101。两门都有动手实验的部分,但课业量是合理的。它们的学生评价也很好。选你更感兴趣的——你在喜欢的课上会表现更好。
Academic Planning and Changing Majors · 学业规划与转专业
intermediateI have been thinking about changing my major from business to computer science. What would that look like in terms of my graduation timeline?
我一直在考虑从商科转到计算机科学。从毕业时间来看会怎样?
💡 在美国大学转专业是很常见的——约三分之一的学生至少换一次专业。但需要和顾问详细讨论对毕业时间的影响。
Let me map it out. You have completed sixty credits so far, but only about fifteen would transfer to a CS degree. You would need to take the intro programming sequence plus calculus, which would likely add two to three semesters. Have you taken any programming courses yet?
让我给你理一下。你到目前为止修了六十个学分,但只有大约十五个可以转到计算机科学学位。你需要上编程入门系列课程加微积分,这可能会多两到三个学期。你上过编程课吗?
I took an online Python course over the summer, but nothing through the university. Would that count for anything?
我暑假上了一个在线Python课程,但不是通过大学的。那能算点什么吗?
It would not count for credit, but the knowledge will give you a head start. You might be able to test out of the first programming course through a placement exam. That would save you a semester. I can connect you with the CS department to schedule one.
它不能算学分,但知识会让你有一个先发优势。你也许可以通过免修考试跳过第一门编程课。那能帮你省一个学期。我可以帮你联系计算机系安排考试。
That sounds promising. Is there a way to double major instead of switching completely? I have already finished a lot of business credits.
听起来很有希望。有没有办法修双学位而不是完全转专业?我已经修了很多商科学分了。
That is actually a smart move. With the business credits you already have, a double major would only add about three semesters. Plus, a business and CS combination is incredibly marketable. I would say it is one of the strongest pairings in today's job market.
这其实是个聪明的选择。以你已经有的商科学分,双学位只会多大约三个学期。而且商科加计算机的组合在就业市场上非常抢手。我觉得这是当今就业市场上最强的搭配之一。
