Yeah, I wouldn't leave graduation planning up to chance like that, when you're at the level of 2-3 terms remaining. Someone in the department already knows which courses will be offered in the entire academic year, and very often for the next year too. Probably even the staff knows this, as they'll know who is on sabbatical, etc. and when certain courses are always taught. I'm confident that they will know for certain who is teaching what course by the end of the month at the latest.

I was actually employed at UC Davis as a peer adviser, where I knew a lot but did very little; but I also got a job analyzing enrollment data in my department. In retrospect putting my skill points into Bureaucracy (university) may not have been the best use of resources, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.

So History and Mechanical Engineering... I think that means you'll be fully qualified to build trebuchets. :D
