Review the course catalog and plan your required courses for the semester. Once you have the times for your required courses decided, review the course catalog to see which computer electives will fit in to your schedule.
List the computer electives by category. For example, courses generally fall under categories such as "Programming," "Productivity," "Design," and "Multimedia."
Consider the skills that might come in to play in the profession for which you are training. Web page programming skills are a good fit for a graphic design major, while an in-depth knowledge of spreadsheet software will assist in your business studies. If you are not sure what ancillary skills may fit the job, contact someone who works in the position you desire and discuss the options with her.
Discuss the courses you are still considering with other students. Sometimes, computer courses are very self-directed and you can learn just as much from working along with a workbook on your own. Focus on elective courses where the teacher is involved in communicating the content.
Schedule the courses that fit best with your schedule, interest and chosen profession after your careful consideration of the factors discussed above.
