Books

You should bring the books for your class with you to the program. Here are the reading lists for certain courses. Check back soon if your course is not listed.

For courses that have no books but printing costs listed, students are able to put money (using cash, check, or credit card) on their EmoryCards to use in the library and computer labs. Kiosks to add money to cards are located in the DUC, White Hall lobby, and Woodruff Library. Printing is 8 cents per page.

These lists are for two-week courses only. Students enrolled in six-week courses will receive a syllabus when they arrive and will be able to buy books in the Emory bookstore.
