Choosing elective courses

Since the first year of university can be quite an adjustment, we recommend selecting elective courses that interest you and that you can have some fun with.

Please refer to the Schedule of Classes to confirm course offerings, and review the UG Calendar for course descriptions and program requirements. 

For advice on selecting your elective courses, contact your Undergraduate Advisor.
