Electives
Five graduate electives will be chosen by the student in consultation with the adviser. The following are appropriate elective options, but an adviser may occasionally approve another course (including one taken through cross-registration) in special circumstances. Electives should be chosen to enhance the student's depth of knowledge in a particular methodological or substantive area. At least two electives need to be taken in each program area.
Students should be aware that some electives have prerequisites and can only be taken after those are fulfilled. Advisers can provide guidance as to the most appropriate timing for particular electives.
