Elective Courses:

In addition to the core courses and the seminars, each PBEE student will be expected to take additional courses, electives, available at Emory (or other universities and institutes). The specific courses taken and the number of these elective courses will be specifically tailored to the student's interests and needs. Decisions about electives will be made by the student in consultation with their temporary advisor or their mentor and dissertation committee.
