What are Elective credits?

Elective credits are college-level courses earned in any subject area that interests you, and they help to round out your degree. You can transfer these in from other institutions, or you can take them here with our variety of credit options. You can even earn a second major, or a certificate or two, that also count toward your elective requirement of 56-7 credits. It's a way to be even more marketable when you've finished your degree.
