V. Elective Courses (Choose 4)

Students may choose from any of the above courses (please note stats exception) to complete the remaining credits of the major, providing they are not being used to satisfy another component of the major.  Students who want a particular focus (sports psychology, physical education, journalism) should consult with their advisor to see recommended course planning options; as well, students should consider a double major or minor in a corresponding field, such as psychology, communication and media, history, business, marketing, and so on. Students should not take more than six credits (2 courses) from the Professional Tennis Management program (designated with a ***) unless they are enrolled in that program, as these classes are non-liberal arts.

 

Students may also choose elective courses from the following lists.
