What's the difference between academic electives and electives?

Question

I'm trying to figure out how my credits will transfer, and I'm not really sure what the difference between academic electives and just electives is. This is what the requirements are for one year at the college I'm transferring the credits to:
Senior Year


Major Performance Study 12
Managing a Professional Carreer 2
Ryhthm and Eurythmics 2
Introduction to Alexander Technique 2
Classical Guitar Pedagogy 6
Classical Guitar Ensemble 3
Choral Ensemble 3
Music and the Humanities 3
Academic electives 12
Electives (any area) 6
TOTAL 51
Can electives be from any area whereas academic electives have to be related to your major's area? I have no idea, sp please be as specific as possible.

Answer 1

Look at the school's bulletin; there should be an explanation of the terms, and what is included in each list. I would guess that academic electives are separate to keep you from taking nothing but physical education and pottery classes outside your major.
