Bundles Unsure of which courses to take in your first semester?

Why not try a Luther Bundle?

What is a bundle?

It’s a grouping of first semester courses that meet basic degree requirements. The courses fit together well and will give you a good start at University, no matter what degree you decide to pursue. Bundles are based on possible careers (i.e. pre-medicine, pre-journalism, social work, etc...), and general themes (i.e. social justice, international, etc...).

Why use a bundle?

It makes registering for your first semester easier and gives you several Luther courses. These bundles have a good weekly schedule and spacing between final exam dates.
