PBMM Policy on Upper Level Elective Courses

• Theme students may choose any of the courses listed below or in the GBS Course Catalog to fulfill the upper-level elective requirement.  (Note:  additional work/assignments may be required for students who enroll in first-year GBS courses for upper-level credit.  Students should contact the Course Director for more information).    

• Theme students may choose from a variety of other JHS/SOM/GBS courses after obtaining permission from the theme.  (Requests should be sent to Jason.)  

• Theme directors will review course content and requirements for all non pre-approved courses requested to be considered for advanced credits and request a short description from student and mentor as to how the requested course would benefit student in his/her research.

• The theme reserves the right to request that a letter grade be given to the student in courses which are P/NP.  Prior written agreement between the course director(s) and student must be obtained prior to course commencement.  

• To ensure the equivalent of an upper-level course workload, the theme reserves the right to request that extra assignments be given to the student enrolled in first-year GBS courses.  Prior written agreement between the course director(s) and student must be obtained prior to course commencement.
