The faculty of the Albany Medical College offers many elective courses during the senior year in an effort to best serve the individual needs and goals of each student. Students with well-defined career goals and those who are still in the process of choosing a specific area to focus on have a wide assortment of courses to choose from.
Most courses are two or four weeks in duration.
Students are also encouraged to approach faculty members for the development of unique courses that more closely approach individual needs. The goal of the Office of Academic Affairs is to provide a curriculum of maximum flexibility with as little administrative encumbrance as possible. The department chairs and elective course directors can serve as valuable consultants to students who wish to discuss course selections. Please feel free to call upon them for assistance. Students are required to have 36 weeks of fourth year credit to graduate.
