Senior Elective Courses
Electives are to be chosen for not less than four (4) weeks per course, the maximum
being seven courses for a total of twenty eight (28) weeks. One credit hour is awarded
for each week served in any elective. Students are NOT permitted to take more than
two (2) electives in the same discipline if they take six (6) electives or take more than
three (3) electives in the same discipline if they take seven (7) electives. If a student
enrolls for seven (7) electives, that student MUST satisfactorily complete all seven
(7) electives before graduation.
During senior electives, students may simultaneously
serve as externs in the selected course, or receive compensation as an US-PHS appointee
in connection with an approved elective. Externship or preceptorship appointments
must be served at the time of the scheduled elective and must be for the elective
course in which the student is enrolled.
