Students may take additional elective coursework across the university with program director and instructor approval. Although science and math classes will be the primary focus for most students, some students may also seek to take graduate coursework to demonstrate academic rigor. Some students may also elect to take other courses based on interests or a desire to improve technical skills (such as writing or language skills).
