CJP seeks to be sensitive to students’ religious beliefs. If you have a conflict due to a religious commitment, please let CJP administration know immediately and we will try to accommodate your schedule.

The following lists only include CJP courses; if you are interested in electives in other graduate programs at Eastern Mennonite University, please contact CJP’s academic coordinator.
