Students are encouraged to use their free electives to explore fields of study different from those required in their curriculum.
Free electives may be taken on a credit-only basis up to a maximum of 12 credit hours.
Types of courses that are frequently selected as free electives include
environmental awareness courses, fine arts, introductions to a discipline
or technology designed for non-majors, additional humanities and social
sciences, and courses that are part of a minor, a second major, or dual
degree. Any elective in a curriculum is interpreted as a free elective
unless qualifications are specifically listed.
