Electives

The remaining courses which students take are electives and may or may not be in areas related to the major subject. Electives allow students to choose courses either to satisfy their intellectual curiosity or to enlighten themselves in areas largely unfamiliar to them. These courses can be used to pursue another major, take a minor or two, or concentrate in a particular area.
