3 Approved Humanities and Social Sciences electives are (1) courses with the following prefixes: AH, AN, CAM, EN, MD, MU, PL, PS, HI, STS, SEG or URB, and (2) approved NYU College of Arts and Science courses. (See TCS Department for the list of approved courses.) One course must be at the 3xxx/4xxx level. At least one elective must be a writing-­intensive course labeled by “W.”

4 Electives for the Option in Biomedical Sciences: Two courses must be advanced CM, BMS, CBE, BE, BT or BI courses. Graduate courses may be taken only by students with junior standing and a C+ average or better, unless otherwise approved by the adviser. The remaining courses are free electives.
