What is an "elective"?
An elective is a course that a student can choose to take as part of their studies, but it is not a required part of their major or degree program. Electives allow students to explore subjects outside of their main field of study, offering flexibility and the opportunity to tailor their education to personal interests. While they are not mandatory, electives can enrich a student's academic experience and may complement their major or provide a broader knowledge base. Electives are typically available in various areas, such as arts, sciences, or languages.
