Special Opportunities
  • Honors College
    "I get to take interesting and informative classes
    and learn from fascinating people."
  • Core Curriculum
    "The core exposes you to all kinds of subjects,
    different professors, and areas of study."
  • Undecided Major
    "The advisors here...can really help you figure out
    what is the right major for you."
View typical first-semester schedules for Ball State freshmen in a handful of majors. Each sample schedule is built around the University Core Curriculum and introductory courses in the major, with room for making choices to fit a student's individual interests.

As you work with an advisor to build your own class schedule, you'll find it to be similar to--but not exactly like--the samples provided here. As you can see, your days and weeks as a Ball State student will be structured very differently than those of a high school student, with plenty of free time for studying, socializing, working out, and participating in campus activities.
