3General Electives: select 20 SCH from any discipline, with no more than 9 SCH in the concentration, outside the College of Nursing and Health Sciences, at least 18 of which must be at the 3000-4000 level.  Electives may be used to develop a minor.
4Advanced CRIJ, select 12 SCH from 3000-4000 level CRIJ.
5Foreign Language/Study Abroad, select 6 SCH in course work (not credit by exam) above the university’s foreign language graduation requirement.

This requirement may also be met by earning 6 SCH in any subject while participating in a TAMIU-approved Study Abroad program while living for at least 4 weeks in another country.
6Research Methods, select 3 SCH from CRIJ 3305, PSCI 3301, or SOCI 3305.
