How and when is the elective and/or independent study taken?
The electives are taken from graduate course work offered in the McCombs School of Business. They can be taken during a semester of the program or during the summer. An independent study is also taken either during a semester of the program or in the summer. The independent study is a special study on a topic selected by the student. Many students can also earn elective credit by completing the week long Washington Campus experience (our public policy seminar).
