***NOTE: Some of the above courses have specific pre-requirements. Students are encouraged to talk with the concentration co-directors for guidance on appropriate coursework, as well as to discuss exceptions or substitutions (e.g. if previous coursework and/or experience allow for enrolling in alternate courses). Additionally, there are many one or two unit seminar style courses that are relevant to HSPR. Students should discuss potential options with the co-directors ***
