All college programs require students to enroll in courses called electives. Electives allow students to broaden their college education or deepen their understanding of a specific area while fulfilling the elective requirements of a program.
A course can count toward graduation only if the student has satisfied the prerequisites for that course.
A course can count only once toward graduation.
Electives may be courses transferred from another accredited college or university or advanced standing credits earned through USAFI, CLEP or other nationally recognized examinations approved by the college.
These electives encourage students to experiment with a variety of courses at the college. This requirement can be fulfilled by any college-level course.

Discipline or department electives are limited to the appropriate alphacode and course number.
