The PACS Certificate requires students to complete 6-credit hours in non-PACS elective courses. Since the PACS Certificate is available to all majors at CU Boulder, we have tried to ensure that there are elective courses that work for every major and that are typically completed as part of your studies. Below are some of the most frequently used elective courses based on common majors that enroll in the PACS Certificate. However, If you select the Full Course List menu below, you will see a full list of all possible elective courses. Students are able to track course completion for the PACS Certificate through the Degree Audit.
