• WWS courses cross-listed with other departments (eg WWS 315/POL 393 or WWS 466/HIS 467) count toward this three course maximum.
• A course used to meet the prerequisite or core requirement may also count as an elective.
• Up to three electives may be taken at a WWS semester-long study abroad program.
• Electives taken at Princeton University must be taken on a graded basis.
• Summer courses may not be used as electives.
