Graduate Program and Course Schedule
Course Schedule: Fall 2011 | Spring 2012 | Program Schedule
CJP attempts to be sensitive to the religious commitments of all students. For students who have conflicts with dates/times of classes because of religious commitments, please let administration know immediately. Accommodation will be attempted when possible. PLEASE NOTE: Class times will be adjusted to accommodate persons attending Friday prayers!
The following lists only include conflict transformation courses. There are appropriate elective courses and required concentration courses in other graduate programs at Eastern Mennonite University. See the Academic Program Coordinator for complete listings.
