          1. Students must take one elective MEJO course of their choice to meet the 39-hour MEJO minimum. This can be any course offered by the school (including MEJO 89 and MEJO 101), regardless of concentration, except MEJO 393. Students may take additional courses in this category, but doing so will exceed the 39-hour minimum.
