elective


Explanation:
Elective

These are called electives at U.S. universities:

http://www.fortunecity.es/imaginario/leyendas/89/univ/saint....

"Una de las ventajas del sistema universitario americano es que el alumno tiene cierta elección en las asignaturas a matricular cada semestre. Aunque la elección es variada, cada carrera establece ciertas directrices para poder completar todos los requisitos de un título académico. Con todo, cada carrera tiene dos tipos de asignaturas: Aquellas específicas de la carrera misma, y asignaturas troncales, comunes a todo estudiante con independencia de la carrera escogida (Elective es equivalente a una asignatura de Libre Configuración del Sistema Español, Optative tiene el mismo significado que una asignatura Optativa del Sistema Español y los General Requirements, Core Requirements y Major Requirements son respectivamente: Asignaturas Generales, Asignaturas Troncales de la Carrera y Asignaturas Específicas de la Carrera)."

agree  Penelope Ausejo: Si... cuando yo estudié se llamaban "electives" (estudié en California)

  -> Gracias, Pepis. Yo también hice la carrera en California. Pues poquísima gente española por esos parajes, al menos esa fue mi experiencia. Yo echo de menos California muchísimo, nada que ver con Washington, D.C.... nada de nada....
disagree  majota (X): Yo estudié en EEUU y las asignaturas denominadas "electives" son las materias optativas. Ver abajo.

agree  Walter Lockhart Ries (X): Two types of electives in Spanish Us: optativas y de libre elección. Optativas = non-obligatory subjects in one's major. Libre elección = subjects offered as electives to students in any major. Libre configuración refiere a todo el plan de estudios

independent study


Explanation:
Estas son materias en las que el alumno elige la materia a tratar con ayuda de un profesor, configurada de manera libre pero dentro de cierto campo.
Yo cursé varias asignaturas de esta manera en la universidad.

disagree  Walter Lockhart Ries (X): I don't know of any Spanish university offering independent study courses at the undergraduate level. See above. I teach at a Spanish U. and have taught at another three Spanish universities.

agree  John Cutler: A mi me ha servido esta traducción hoy. Se ve por el contexto de mi documento que no se refiere simplemente a "electives".

free choice courses/ free elective courses


Explanation:

Yo usaría una de estas dos opciones, que creo que dan la idea entera de la frase original española. Ambas pueden encontrarse en google, en páginas oficiales de universidades anglosajonas. Creo que "free choice courses" se usa más en el Reino Unido, mientras que "free elective courses" es más común en E.E.U.U. (creo).
He aquí unos ejemplos:
