How do I find elective courses?

You may choose any undergraduate course (100-499 level) to take as an elective as long as you have not already taken the course, transferred similar credits to CSU Global, and it is not considered a Capstone class. 

You are able to select elective courses based on personal preference, professional interest, etc. You can view courses offered by visiting the “Courses of Instruction” section in the academic catalog. Here you can also view the course description, which would include the recommended prior coursework if applicable. 

Undergraduate students who have several elective credits to fulfill may want to look at adding a specialization to their program. A specialization is a set of five courses (15-16 credits) focused on a specific subject area. You can find more information about specializations through the CSU Global website.  

***Please note: Not all specializations are available to all programs.

Graduate level students do not typically have elective courses required to complete their program. Please refer to the Academic Catalog to review graduate program requirements.
