Approved Elective Courses
Historical Elective Courses (for course taken prior to Fall 2009 ONLY)
Four approved elective courses must be taken in at least two different departments. Elective courses are approved on a semester-by-semester basis. The approved elective courses must be taken in at least two different departments. Only one course which counts toward your major may be counted toward the GHCS minor.
Elective courses that have a major focus on social, economic, environmental or other aspects of global health offered by a variety of Emory College departments are identified and approved by the program prior to each semester.

Other courses taken here or abroad, or internships with an academic component, may be considered as GHCS electives, by petition, if a substantial portion of the course content centers on global health issues. See Whitney Easton in the Anthropology Department Office to obtain and submit a petition form. After the petition is reviewed, you will be contacted by email about the decision.
