Elective Courses in 2013-14

All students in their first year at Yale-NUS College will take seven courses in common.
 All of the first semester courses are part of the Common Curriculum, as are three of the four courses in the second semester. Students interested in majoring in science will take Integrated Science in the second semester; students in the double degree program will take Law and Society at the NUS Law School. All other students will choose one elective course in their second semester.

Below are descriptions of the elective courses currently planned for the second semester of Year 1. This list may be modified, and other courses may be added, before the College opens in July. Language courses may be elected through NUS, and other NUS courses may be available depending on availability of slots and scheduling considerations. In the second year and beyond, students have many more opportunities to take electives, and this list will be substantially augmented.
