Pre-Approved Applied AB Electives

Reminders

 

1. All courses should follow a coherent sequence in one discipline. The pre-approved courses are divided into clusters that may contain courses with different subject codes (ex. ARE and ECN).  You may take a combination of courses with different subject codes as long as they are within the same cluster. 

2. Prerequisites for the courses below vary.  Be sure to check the General Catalog for an up to date list of prerequisites. 

3. Any deviation from the clusters and any addition of courses must be pre-approved by the Undergraduate Vice Chair.  This is not a complete list.  There are many other subject areas and courses that may be approved as well. Please submit the major modification request form for any elective requests.  Please include the list of which courses you would like to use and their descriptions.
