Online Elective Tracks

An elective track is a group of four courses grouped together based on a single topic. Students may select a single elective track or select four individual electives. The strategic choice of electives allows the student to tailor a selected degree to their personal or career pursuits or to explore topics of interest.

The following elective tracks can be added to the Bachelor of Science in Human Services, Leadership and Ministry, and Psychology. The Bachelor of Science in Business and the Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice do not require 12 elective credits. Elective Tracks do not appear on the diploma, nor are they documented on the student’s official transcript.
