Track Electives Master List

We are pleased to consider courses at the 1000+ level not listed on the IAPA electives list as potential electives to satisfy track elective requirements.  Though a few courses under the 1000 level appear on the IAPA electives list, these courses are primarily legacy electives from the prior 3 Watson concentrations (Policy, Development, and IR).  We have continued to count them as electives for IAPA while we sunset the old concentrations.  But, new elective courses need to be at the 1000+ level.
