yes, you usually have a certain amount of units you can take as an elective. also some schools make you take courses outside of your major so that you are a more rounded/developed person. make sure you don't take to many electives and are over your limit for units. my fiancee switched majors, and all the units she had taken counted against her for things like financial aid.

Yes, you can take course completely unrelated to your major. Most universities also require you to complete general requirements for graduation.

Yes it is the called Core, and that means you take classes that give you a round education, versus if you went in and got all the classes for your major but nothing else, at my school it was 128 credits to graduate and 62 of them were core and the rest was specific to my majors.

Usually: YES.
Exception: Courses which are limited to major students only. Usually these are courses which are in high demand. At my school the Business School and the Engineering School limited most of their classes to students who had been accepted to those schools.
Also, honors courses were restricted.

Of course. Even if your major is psychology, you could still take something like chemistry. Learn as much as you want :)

Yes - in fact, most degree programs require you to take a certain number of electives.
