Elective Courses
In addition to the required courses, students must select four 200- or 300-level advisor-approved elective courses (12 – 15 hours) of which two must be 300-level courses. Depending on your area(s) of interest, you can select related courses to broaden and deepen your experience. There is room, by intention, for creativity and flexibility in this major.
