Electives are experiences that can be taken at any site.
Satisfactory completion of reading electives must include a written report, paper, or exam. Credit for reading electives should be limited to no more than four weeks of the total number of weeks required for graduation. Electives that have been designated as reading electives will have that designation indicated in the elective description contained in this publication. Such petitions must also have the approval from the appropriate departmental chairperson at Saint Louis University. This usually requires that the student provide evidence that the courses are comparable.
