NOTES:

Please note that this schedule is only a sample. Each Altman Scholar’s schedule will depend on transfer credits earned before attending Tulane (e.g. AP, IB, or college credits.)

When the sample schedule shows more than the maximum credit hours allowed, some classes will need to be shifted to later semesters. 

Enrollment in courses during the Global South Summer Study Abroad Program is mandatory.

Some courses will fulfill more than one requirement. For example, Altman Scholars may take a course on New Orleans Music to simultaneously satisfy the “Aesthetics and Creative Arts” requirement and the “Race and Inclusion” requirement.

Altman Scholars take an Altman-specific section of Management Communications in the second semester of freshmen year to fulfill the General Business Requirement.
