The "Any Course" electives means just that -- any course. We encourage students to use these elective units to develop their own specialty. For example, students interested in finance can distinguish themselves with a bachelor's in economics and still take seven more courses offered by the finance department. If you are interested in marketing, these electives allow you to take marketing courses, plus some public relation courses, and courses in communication studies. You may want to combine the economics major with a specialty in biology for a career in the pharmaceutical industry, or combine the economics major with other courses that further develop your oral and written communication and calculation skills.

Transfer students who want to graduate quickly find these "Any Course" electives useful. Courses taken at other colleges or universities count in this area. You can transfer up to 70 units of coursework to SJSU.
