Elective Courses
Non-MIMG Courses that Satisfy the General Elective Requirement for the Major
Course availability is subject to change. Consult the Schedule of Classes for the most up-to-date information.
IMPORTANT: Some departments restrict courses during first pass enrollment to their majors and then open up enrollment during the second pass to all others. Please read the course details on the schedule of classes “course notes” carefully prior to contacting the departments or professors to request PTE’s or special exceptions. When a department places a restriction during first pass enrollment to allow only their majors to enroll, you must wait until 2nd pass to enroll on a space-available basis.
