Fourth-Year Electives

  • UMSoM 4th year rotations are four weeks in length.
  • Students may be allowed to participate in 3-week electives (on our campus or at an off-campus site) if scheduling conflicts arise between our academic calendar and the calendar of other schools. These electives must include at least 15 working days over the 3 week period in order to count toward our graduation requirements.
  • Electives must be at least 3 consecutive weeks in length and on the same rotation/elective in order to receive credit toward graduation. Students may not combine 2, 2-week rotations on different rotations/electives at the same institution and receive graduation credit.
  • Two-week experiences will show on your transcript as an AU=Audited course and will not count toward graduation credit at all.
  • All out of catalog experiences require an Off-Campus Form to be completed by the student, signed by UMB Faculty and returned to dropadd@som.umaryland.edu along with confirmation of acceptance from the visiting institution.
