Current & Upcoming Undergraduate Courses
Planning your course schedule? Here is a look at what’s coming up in global health.
Certificate students:
- Review GHP requirements
- See GHP prerequisite courses
- Approved GHP electives from previous years
- Check the Registrar's listing of current course offerings or the Undergraduate Announcement for information on current and future offerings
Take Note of New 200-Level Elective Policy: In the past, GHP elective courses were normally required to be listed or cross-listed at a 300-level or 400-level. In order to add more options and flexibility for students, GHP will now approve 200-level courses as GHP electives. However, a student may only count two 200-level courses toward the overall four elective total. If a course carries both a 200- and 300-level course number, it will count as a 200-level course for purposes of this requirement.
Elective options:
- One elective course *must* be outside of your home department. (This includes cross-listings.)
- One elective may be taken during the freshman or sophomore year; all other electives must be completed in the junior and senior years.
- One elective course may be taken with the P/D/F grading option. With prior program approval, one health-related course taken as part of a non-Princeton study abroad program may count as a GHP elective. (This would also count as the one course allowed with the P/D/F grading option.)
