ELECTIVES: 14 - 17 credits

An elective can be any transfer-level course numbered 100 or higher. Generally, students plan to fulfill area requirements first. Once those requirements are fulfilled, other courses listed under area requirements can be applied toward elective credits. Only courses specifically listed as repeatable may count more than once as an elective credit. Only one of the following courses can be used as an elective: IS 103 and IS 105. It is recommended that electives include courses in foreign or Hawaiian language, a course in humanities, a course in social science, and a course in natural science. If a student plans to transfer to the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa, using foreign language as electives is highly recommended since foreign language is a graduation requirement for most UH Manoa programs.
