Most majors require a certain number of free electives in order to meet the minimum credits to graduate. Free electives count towards degree requirements to ensure students earn 120-128 credits.
Depending on the student's catalog year, two credits of free electives must be outside the major discipline, meaning they must not be related to the major. For example, a student pursuing building sciences, construction management must complete two credits from a subject other than “TEC”.
Program | Two free elective credits CANNOT come from courses that begin with |
| Applied Design | Apparel Design & Merchandising: ADM Industrial Design: IND Interior Design: INT |
| Art | ART |
| Communication | COM |
| Sustainable Development | SD |
| Sustainable Technology & the Built Environment | TEC |
| Theatre & Dance | Theatre: THR Dance: DAN |
Note: If a student is pursuing a non-required minor, hours from the minor can be used to fulfill the two-credit requirement of free electives
