<p>[ILR</a> Student Services: Summary of Curriculum Requirements](<a href=“http://www.ilr.cornell.edu/studentservices/curriculum/requirements/summary.html]ILR”>http://www.ilr.cornell.edu/studentservices/curriculum/requirements/summary.html)</p>
<p>If you do the bare minimum, you’ll have at least 18 completely free elective credits (~5-6 courses). In addition, you can also use 16 credits outside of ILR toward your ILR elective requirements. You also typically take your distribution courses (eg science/tech, western intellectual tradition, and cultural perspectives) in other colleges, and there is a lot of leeway in terms of what fulfills the distribution and out of college ILR elective requirements. So that’s about 40-50 elective credits you are likely to take in other colleges, with more or less flexibility. Of course you can take more free electives if you’d like, and it’s not difficult to graduate with well more than 120 credits in four years, even without APs.</p>
