General Education Elective Options

Electives

Elective courses are indicated in many programs. Some electives are designated “major” electives and must be in the student’s major field of study. Other electives designated “humanities/fine arts electives” may be chosen from areas such as humanities, art, music, philosophy, and religion. Electives designated “social/behavioral sciences electives” may be chosen from areas such as psychology, social sciences, and political sciences.
