Academic Catalog

Electives

Each degree program guides its graduates to achieve College Academic Learning Goals and General Education requirements in the way that is most reasonable and helpful to its students in that field of study. Programs may require specific courses, or elective categories, from which a student may choose from a variety of course options. Refer to specific program curriculum grids for more information.

Be sure to meet with an advisor in the Transfer Office when planning to transfer.
