Electives

Courses other than liberal arts core, focus area, and major requirements are free electives. A department may require, beyond specific courses in the major, as many as eight courses in a closely related and necessary secondary field; therefore, the number of electives will vary depending upon the student's major.

Pass-fail grading for free electives. Prior to the deadline published in the academic calendar, students may choose to take free electives on a pass/fail basis. Approval of the Associate Dean is required to make this change. Neither pass nor fail for a course taken on this basis will affect the student's cumulative average, but fail will earn no degree credit. Courses taken pass/fail may not be used to fulfill major, minor, certificate, or liberal arts requirements.
