Graduate Certificate Elective Course List

Electives in Global Urban Humanities

An elective course provides participants an opportunity to round out their study of Global Urban Humanities in a discipline outside of their home division. Elective courses will generally be listed under the following course numbers. These course numbers will not count toward the certificate in all years (depending on the degree of their focus on urban topics), so please research the course offerings of the relevant department on their departmental website and check with the GUH staff and the GUH website for the annually updated list (paying close attention to the course section number and instructor as well as main number). You may petition to count courses not on this list using the Elective Petition form. You must take the elective outside your home division (for the purposes of this requirement, History will be counted as an Arts & Humanities discipline although it is part of the Social Sciences Division). Exceptions may be granted by petition.

 

All electives require approval by petition. Some electives listed may only qualify depending on topic offered. If you don't see an elective on the list, feel free to suggest additions.
