Further information regarding enrichment electives for current students is also available in Student Commons (WUSTL Key required).
2. Scholarly electives
Phase 3 students can reserve up to 16 weeks, consecutively or non-consecutively, to pursue a project of interest for credit.
EXPLORE electives for project work are unstructured, providing flexible time for students to pursue their projects under the supervision of one or more mentors. These electives must be pre-approved by the relevant EXPLORE Pathway Lead(s). Additional information and the elective proposal form is available in Student Commons (WUSTL Key required). The signed form must be emailed to the EXPLORE Administrative office (explore@wustl.edu) at least six weeks before the proposed start date.
