PROGRAM IN GLOBAL HEALTH STUDIES

Research

While not a requirement of the major or minor, you are encouraged to conduct public health research both on campus and abroad under the supervision of faculty in any relevant discipline or program. In addition, research is a major component of the public health programs offered by Northwestern. Students are encouraged to continue their research upon their return to campus.
