Choosing Electives as a CAAM Major

List of potential elective courses

Your three electives need to be courses which are computational in nature and related to one another. For instance, they might inlvolve a common theme or technique, or be from a specific field.

Above, you can see courses which previous students have used as part of their elective sequences – and also some courses which have not been approved because they are not sufficiently computational.

Please note that the Econ 20000 sequence courses are not approved as electives.

These lists are not exhaustive, and you are welcome to propose other courses as electives. If you have a question about a specific course, please contact Prof. Burbank.

Send Prof. Burbank an email with your proposed electives, as well as a brief explanation of how they are related.

You may double-count courses that are being used for another major. However, per university policy, you may not double-count courses that are being used for a minor.
