New outside course can be counted for IH Credit in Spring 2012
The Department of International Health has approved an additional course outside the Department that can be counted for IH credit in the spring of 2012. This is GMS MA 622–Religion and Health—taught on the Medical Campus by Lance Laird, Th.D. Religion and spiritual belief are important factors influencing health and health seeking behavior. And faith based organizations are important in health service delivery and community organization and education in developing countries. IH students, particularly those that may seek a job or practicum with such organizations, may want to consider taking this course.
Any SPH student who wants GMS MA622 to “count” for their MPH degree needs to submit a completed transfer credit request form to Chris Paal (cpaal@bu.edu). The course is auto-approved, so no other documents or signatures are needed.
Students must earn a B or better for the course to count for the MPH degree.
