Classes & Grades
What is an elective and how many electives do I need?
An elective is a course that is not required by General Education, University Requirement, your major, or your minor. These courses allow students to add their own interests and passions into their studies and can often facilitate a richer, and more personalized, academic experience. Most students will need to take elective classes to reach the 120 credits requried for a bachelors degree.
The number of elective credits you will need varies from student to student based on major, minor, need for pre-requisites, and other factors. Be sure to regularly consult with your academic advisor about elective offerings.
