Students should work closely with their advisor in the selection of courses where choices are available.   Students who major in accounting should complete their GEP math requirement during their freshman year. It is recommended that Math 110 be chosen to fulfill this requirement. Students are also encouraged to take HPE 124: Beginning Golf as their GEP activity course requirement.
