Four courses (12 credit-hours) may be chosen. Courses must be at the 500- or 600-level. Of these four electives one must address Social Context, one Health Care Policy and Law and the remaining two must be relevant to the degree but are not otherwise restricted.

All electives with prerequisites require permission of instructor to enroll.

Other courses may be allowed on a case-by-case basis. We encourage our students to find interesting electives and submit the class information for approval.
