Potential electives

Potential Electives for Science Programs

The list below includes popular electives, new course offerings, and a diversity of subjects to think about. It is meant to serve as a reference guide, but it is not an exhaustive list.

Some of the courses listed may already be required for your program (such as a Math lecture, a business elective, a complementary elective, etc.). Others could be used as free electives.

We suggest that you use this list as a starting point. Use the Course Descriptions Index to see other courses offered within a certain subject and check if they'll be offered on the Course Selection Offerings List. We cannot guarantee courses on this list are being offered next term or that there will be spots available. Be mindful for those courses that are restricted to students in particular programs. See the Schedule of Classes for a full term offering and to see if spots remain in the course.
