Your advisor will help you tailor your program in any way that is academically sound for you.Clearly, if you plan a career in business or government or law, you do not need to take the same courses as someone who plans to teach history or is preparing for graduate work in the field. Your advisor will help you choose courses that are right for you, but you will have a great deal of freedom and responsibility for your own education.
