| Electives (6 hours) |
Beginning in fall 2005, electives in gifted education will be offered each semester, though only online in the fall semesters. We recommend that you plan to take your electives in gifted education rather than outside the department.
However, any graduate courses within the college of education may be taken for the elective, but students must first have advisor's permission prior to taking course.
