Class options............

Once again I'm "thinking of a master plan, this aint nothing but sweat inside my hand".........ok, I have school on my mind. I need to devise a roadmap for the last classes to take to complete my degree. Here are my choices for:

This class is required:

A study of accounting that integrates knowledge gained through previous coursework and experience and builds on that conceptual foundation through integrative analysis, practical application and critical thinking.

Web accounting and business technology, accounting theory, and management techniques are used to research and analyze developing issues in the workplace. Topics include e-commerce, financial derivatives, balanced scorecards, and the changing nature of financial reporting and risk management.

But I have the options for the other three courses to take. Here are the options:
