There are:
4 different possible choices for the business course,
5 different possible choices for the math course,
2 different possible choices for the history course,
5 different possible choices for the social science course,
and 11%2A10%2F2=11%2A5 possible different combinations of two electives.
Since the subjects are chosen independently, the number of possible different curricula is the product
4%2A5%2A2%2A5%2A11%2A5=2%5E3%2A5%5E3%2A11=10%5E3%2A11=11000
