All elective courses applied to the MCLS degree must be taken during the time in which the student is enrolled in the program, and must be approved by the student\u2019s advisor.<\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0Students may choose electives in the Division of CLS, in other UNC Departments, or at another college or university.
