Spring 2027 Electives

As a reminder, students must take 27 credits in elective courses, of which 9 (three courses) should be from foundational and 18 (six courses) from thematic electives. Of the 27 elective credits:

  • no more than 12 credits may be from the same department
  • at least 9 credits must be upper-level

If you believe a course that is not listed below applies to one of our three thematic areas, contact Grace Castle (castl@umbc.edu) to check if it could count towards your degree!
