How does this sound?

First Course in Modern Algebra (Abstract Algebra)
Applied Statistics 2
Differential Equations

and I need one more course, I'm considering Applied Combinatorics, is that class hard? What exactly is it about?

Thanks

how many credits are you looking to take? so far how many credits are the listed courses combined? You could throw a gen-ed in there to be a little "stress release" course.
 
@micromass: I tried looking fo rone, but not many options.

@Edin: That's 12 credits. Not much I know, but will adding a history class in there be overwhelming? Abstract Algebra is my first upper level math course, and I'm a bit nervous about it.

That would depend on several factors. How much work does the class ask of the student? I took a history course where we didn't have homework or any papers to write. Just read 2 novels, and a chapter a week in the class textbook. We took a quiz on each chapter and a test on the 2 novels. That's it. It wasn't labor intensive just required reading which a person with good time management would be able to handle.

I'm against using rate my professor so I won't say check rate my professor for an easy history prof in your school.

If you include another 3 credit class to your 12 credit course load you'll have 15 which I think you can handle. If anything I'm sure your school has a "drop a course with penalty" date. If you take the class for about a week and you feel you can't handle the load just drop it before the deadline and your transcript won't have a scratch.
 
Yeah, I see where you're coming from, I'm going to check out the history courses offered, hope I can find something not too overwhelming. Thank you for your help!
