Academic Electives
electives · 1 item
- Academic electives are most courses offered outside of Art, Design, or Film and Media Arts (for example, courses offered in CRS, Arts and Sciences, Whitman, and other colleges outside of SU:VPA). These academic courses usually have non-art-related content, such as math, natural sciences, art history, anthropology, religion, gender studies, and writing, among others. Most importantly, they meet for a total of 150 to 160 minutes each week for the duration of the semester (usually on two- or three-day patterns, such as MW, TTH, or MWF, with classes ranging from 50 to 80 minutes each.)Not resolved to a course18
