Difference between free electives and general education courses? (1 Viewer)

For BComm, what is the diff between free electives and general education courses?

Electives just means that you can choose any subject you want - biology, psychology, chemistry, accounting, etc

General education courses (I think you're referring to the core subjects) are subjects you have to do and pass to complete your course (i.e. subjects you have to do before you can graduate)

free electives are subjects you take within your faulty ie ASB offered subjects
general education course are outside your faulty (ie you cant take an ASb offered course as a gen ed)

ah that sounds right for unsw michealjennings, thank you! do you happen to know how many units of credit you have to do for the general ed courses as BComm student? what year would you typically complete them in?
