Engaging with Global Health Challenges

About the Program
Program Highlights
Our Curricula
We provide a strong foundation from which students learn to think critically about global health challenges and practices. Students simultaneously explore core fields of global health such as infectious disease, bioethics, or mental health.
Study Abroad
Global Health Studies students are required to study abroad in a program that offers a substantial public health experience. Credits taken while abroad can count towards the elective requirement for the Global Health Studies major or minor.
Global Health Blog
The Global Health Blog showcases the experiences of global health students and alumni attending conferences and doing research around the world.
