Textbooks

Federal law requires Harvard to disclose certain information about the textbooks instructors have assigned for courses at Harvard Divinity School. The Harvard Coop has agreed to provide this information to students, who may access it via the my.Harvard Course Search. Use the "Harvard Coop" link on each course detail page to see updated textbook information on the Coop's website.
