Elective Courses
(Complete a
total of 48 hours)
Although
electives may be chosen from the broad spectrum of
university courses, you may choose to take your electives
within the social sciences department (anthropology,
geography, history, government, psychology, and sociology).
Electives can be utilized for the completion of a minor.
For those students interested in pursuing graduate school,
many graduate programs require calculus as a prerequisite.
Students considering a future Master’s or Doctorate Degree
in Psychology should take MATH courses up through Calculus 2
(MATH 2120).
