Determining Appropriate Courses
To determine which courses you should list on your Course Selection Sheet, you may first want to look up the curriculum of Pace majors closely related to your own, as these can give you a better idea of which courses might be approved to transfer back into your home institution. A great place to start is PaceÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™s page. You may also want to consider our ESL-specialized courses.
To find out which courses are offered within any given semester, as well as to access course descriptions, access PaceÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™s . As you filter the results, note that the ÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ˜Choose Subject:ÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™ field takes the first three letters in the course youÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™re looking for, so for instance if youÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™re looking for ECO 105, select ÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ˜Economics (ECO).ÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™ The ÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ˜Choose Course NumberÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ¦ÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™ field would in this example take ÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ˜105.ÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™ Make sure to also select the appropriate campus in the ÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ˜Choose CampusÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓƵÈí¼þ™ field.
