Elective Courses:

Electives offered by other departments may also be taken during the first year, especially in fulfillment of the 18 graded credits required before students can take the General Examination. It is often advisable, however, to take the electives after choosing a Thesis Advisor and entering a home lab so as not to interfere with the core course work taken earlier, or with the interactions necessary for successful lab rotations.
