1 You are free to choose any courses at or above 100-level to complete unrestricted electives, although you may need to use these credits to take courses that prepare you for required courses in the degree program.  You should also consider using unrestricted electives to meet foreign language requirements for your programs or to begin work on completing a minor. Central Connecticut State University will require that you complete a minor by earning at least 18 credits in one area outside your major field; you must complete at least 9 of those minor credits at Central.  You can also complete other General Education requirements for CCSU, SCSU, WCSU, and COSC - but not ECSU.  You are encouraged to meet with your advisor to determine which courses to select.

2 At least one course in Elective (SCKX)  Scientific Knowledge & Understanding or Elective (SCRX)   Scientific Reasoning must be a 4-credit laboratory course.

3 Courses in these categories will fulfill an additional general education requirement in all of the CSCU baccalaureate programs referenced above. Speak with your advisor about other possible choices.
