This list of upper-division Arts and Sciences electives are intended to help Arts & Sciences juniors and seniors at CU Boulder who need help building toward the 45 upper-division credits that are required to graduate from the college and the 30 upper-division Arts & Science credits that are required to meet residency in the College.

Please be aware that this is not an exhaustive list of courses that could be taken as upper-division electives—not even close. There are thousands of upper-division courses at CU Boulder, any of which could theoretically be taken as an elective. However, many such courses have major restrictions or course prerequisites. The courses listed on this blog were selected because they DO NOT have major restrictions or required prerequisites though many have recommended prerequisites.



————————————————————————–

Remember, the above list is only a starting point. To search all possible electives, you can search “Courses A-Z” in the on-line CU Boulder Catalog. Or, to find courses in upcoming term, use the course search to search by department and limit your search to upper-division courses by choosing “Undergrad Upper Division” from the Course Level drop down menu.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

Each semester, the Curriculum Office of the College of Arts & Sciences puts together a list of upper-division courses being offer in the College, which are NOT restricted to particular majors or minors and do NOT require a prerequisite(s). This blog should be used in conjunction with the course search and students should consulted their academic advisor to find out how many upper-division electives they need to complete since that number can vary from student to student.
