Before You Jump In
FIU is a large and quickly growing University. There are many colleges within the University. When you have discovered what you are interested in pursuing think about some of the commonalities that all majors will require.
UCC or University Core Curriculum everyone favorite, but not really. This is where even as a liberal arts major you will still need to take an english composition class, as well as a speech class, a language and some type of natural or physical science. In all likelihood this will take a semester to an academic year to complete.
ENJOY THESE CLASSES!
Granted some of them aren't the most fun, but you may come to like it a bit. It gives you exposure to a different course of study and allows you to venture out a bit. Try to take a class you may enjoy. Are you new to Florida? Maybe take ecology of South Florida and see what kind of ecosystem your in. Or astronomy and learn about the stars!
