Electives

An elective is a course chosen because of personal interest or some relation to the major. Along with the core, major, and applicable minor requirements, students complete electives to earn the minimum of 120 credits required for graduation.

Students considering graduate or professional schools should include sufficient study of a classical or modern language within their electives to be competent in at least one foreign language. They should also include work in philosophy, history, and literature.
