Please note that semesters 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, do not denote freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior years, they refer to how the courses should be taken. In other words, you need to take the courses in semesters 1 and 2 before you can take the courses in semester 3; semesters 1, 2 and 3 before you can take the courses in semester 4, etc.
