Approved Outside Elective Courses
To complete the PACS Certificate, students must take 6 credit hours of elective courses outside of PACS. Because the certificate is open to all Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder majors, we’ve curated a range of electives that align with many degree programs and are often courses students are already taking as part of their major.Ìý
A list of Commonly Used Outside Electives based on the most frequent majors enrolled in the certificate is below. At the bottom of the page is the Complete List of Approved Outside Electives Courses. Students can track their progress toward the certificate by running a Degree Audit.
