Whats the difference between the flexible and focused degree options?
On your diploma, there’s no difference whatsoever. The flexible option, formerly known as 8B, exists so that you can more easily double major or explore another subject, such as astrophysics or biophysics. There are fewer required classes in course 8 for the flexible option, notably Junior Lab (8.13 and 8.14). The flexible option can also be a good idea for those who would like to substitute regular classes with grad classes or for those who are more theoretically inclined.
