Possible Electives

Below is a list of approved elective courses taught by other departments at the UM. MPH students may take approved courses from other departments in order to satisfy their electives requirement (9 credits); however, not all of the courses are taught online and many require the instructor's approval. Students who wish to take electives that are not on this list must consult with their advisor before registering. If a course is offered as a 400-level course with a graduate increment, be sure to sign up for the course as "Graduate" or the credits will not qualify as transferable electives.
