*Note that we cannot guarantee that schedules will align to allow students to take all electives of interest in a given quarter. Rather, we must prioritize avoiding conflicts with required classes to allow students to graduate within two years. Students are encouraged to take elective courses of interest at the earliest possible time they fit into their schedules. Students who desire to take specialty area classes may need to extend their timeline within the program to three, rather than two years.
