Religion and Health Courses at Emory

Courses focusing on issues in religion and public health are plentiful at Emory.  Whether offered in the departments of sociology or religion or the schools of public health or theology, these courses offer students the opportunity to learn more about cutting-edge issues and efforts to address them.  Some courses are cross-listed in multiple schools or departments (see information in parentheses after the name of the course), and most, if not all, will accept students from other programs.  Contact the instructor for further information.
