There are two types of elective courses: MBB and DLS electives

Students needing just one elective (e.g. those doing the “P-Chem” option) must choose an MBB elective.

Students needing three electives – (e.g. those doing the “Electives” option) must choose two  MBB electives with the third elective being either MBB or the Pre-approved DLS from the list below.

In some cases students need more than three electives (e.g. they did not take the “ITR” course or they did <12 credits of independent research). In this case students must choose two  MBB electives with the other electives   being either MBB or DLS from the list below.

Students may ask for exceptions to the above rules (e.g. choose a course not on the list) by emailing MBB undergraduate director, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
