Electives In selecting a program of study, students may incorporate any electives offered (consult the two-year projected schedule of courses). In addition, sufficient latitude in designing elective course assignments permits students to pursue a variety of research interests. Courses are usually offered on a rotating basis every two or three years. University Courses as Electives Up to three credits of pre-approved elective graduate course work directly related to the program of study may be taken in other departments at Biola University or transferred in from other accredited graduate institutions. For example, the following University courses may have some relevance for a student’s program. However, since enrollment may be limited, the student must obtain permission from the instructor and the dean of the school in which the course is offered.
