When you are choosing courses in college, focus on those that are pertinent to your major and which also test your abilities to learn and grow. When you apply for your major in college, most of your courses are already preselected, but you can choose a couple of electives. Consider these tips about elective courses so that you’ll choose ones that will serve you best.
Select the courses that fit with your profession. It is a good idea to choose elective courses that closely tie into your chosen profession. Potential employers will appreciate every bit of extra training and knowledge that they don’t have to give you. Select elective courses in chemistry, biology or even physics if you are doing a science major.
For business courses, select electives in accounting, business admin and even computing courses, as you’ll never know when these will come in handy in the corporate world.
If you’re majoring in kinesiology, then it would be a good idea to choose health and fitness-related electives. It is common sense to pick electives that will benefit you in your job search after graduation.
Choose an education that is inclusive of many fields of study. If you are pretty full up on career related courses, you may prefer and enjoy electives that are unrelated to your major.
Some students who are unable to find a job take a few ‘back up’ courses, due to the fact that they can not find a job related to their current major. This is also a good decision. In the opinion of some employers you will have a broader ‘usability’ if you choose a well-rounded education. If you have courses in science along with your business degree, you could possible win a job over someone who majored purely in business with no outside electives. Does psychology interests you, or how about astronomy? Creative electives like these could give you the edge in a competitive marketplace. Any skills (basic or otherwise) are valued by employers, and it could give you a nice rest from the monotony of the similar courses necessary for your major.
Select a challenging elective course. Part of education is to learn how to learn, and elective courses should help with this goal. You may not memorize all the information from each class but you will get a better understanding of the world. Pick electives courses that challenge your belief system and make you look at the world in a different way. Look into another culture. Consider a philosophy elective if you’ve been told that you are a little narrow-minded. How about languages? Aim to challenge and develop your thinking skills, and you will really gain benefit from the course.
When choosing electives in college, aim for those that help with your career, your personal interests outside of your career, or your general personal development.
