What elective courses are there?

Elective courses refer to courses that students who study a certain major in colleges and universities can choose to take. The main purpose is to expand students' knowledge and develop their specialties. Elective courses are divided into restricted elective courses and unrestricted elective courses.

Restricted elective courses, also known as designated elective courses, mean that students must take a certain subject or a certain group of courses; If some professional teaching plans stipulate that senior students must take several courses in a special group or elective group. Foreign institutions of higher learning often require students to take several credit courses in the fields of natural science and social science.

Unlimited elective courses, also known as arbitrary elective courses, are not restricted by the above provisions. In order to adapt to individual differences, teach students in accordance with their aptitude and give full play to their specialties, students choose optional courses at will.
