FIDM: MERCHANDISE MARKETING CURRICULUM,

Today, I got an e-mail from my school's academic coordinator. While I was at SCC, I took 17 courses throughout my college career there, which is a total of 50.5 units (not final units from grades). Out of 50.5 units, I was only able to transfer 12 units which is pretty lame. The rest of my 38.5 units were not transferrable to FIDM, but I'm glad that I at least got some transferred. And my grades aren't transferred, which means I start all over with my cumulative GPA.

On June 23, I get to register for classes. Pretty late since school starts two weeks after registration date. Since 12 units of mine transferred, I have to do 75 more units to fulfill my major. Long way to go.

Here is my curriculum, all are 3 units each:

  • BUAD 1100 Selling Techniques
  • BUAD 2000 Organizational Behavior & Management
