noncore-related electives


Explanation:
Generally speaking, there are three kinds of courses that contribute toward fulfillment of an undergraduate degree:

1) core courses
2) core-related electives
3) noncore-related electives

In the absence of better context, it would appear that 專外 courses are elective courses that are not related to one's core discipline.

I have just found another way of writing noncore-related electives. It is non-core electives. You can find it at the following URL
