ADES Electives

The elective courses allow students to focus on more specific topics and provide the faculty an opportunity to highlight their own research
areas. To ensure the greatest range of choices some electives may only be offered every other year, contingent on the availability of the
instructor, so its important to check the current registration guide for the upcoming courses. Some of the elective courses offered recently
include:
