Just a thought, I know many schools have 2-3 summer sessions and you may be able to pick something up either in your major/minor or even a GenEd type course. Online courses are also an option. =) Best of luck!

I did look into taking an online summer class at the beginning of the summer. My school only offered GenEd classes I had already taken/don't need or upper level classes way out of my major. I looked at my local university and they had a class that would fill a minor requirement AND that could transfer back to my school. But my 40 hour/week job can be really draining some days and I quickly found when I got home I wanted some me time, not study time. Plus, I wasn't sure, if I did take the class through the local school, if it would transfer/change my GPA in time for recruitment. But thanks for the advice!

Or if you can RE-take a GenEd class where you can improve your grade. Yes, that would be paying twice to take the same class, but if you can improve a "C" to an "A", it could be worth a shot.
