Read course descriptions in the UMD Catalog. http://www.d.umn.edu/catalogs/current
Select 1 to 3 courses from each of your remaining categories.
Identify other 1xxx level courses that will assist you in exploring majors/minors.
Review the Spring Semester Class Schedule to determine which classes are offered in the spring. < Note that not every course is offered every semester.
Create a list of 8-12 classes you are interested in.
