Global health is a multi-disciplinary field focusing primarily on prevention and health promotion to improve health of all people worldwide. Professionals in this field address the behavioral and socio-ecological factors that impact health around the globe. Graduates of this program work for governmental agencies, nonprofit organizations, hospitals, schools and universities, and corporations, and may also continue their education in graduate school and professional programs.
Students select from related courses in topical areas including pre-health professions, global health research and practice, policy and governance, language and culture, or health humanities. Students complete an internship where they gain practical experiences working alongside partners on global health initiatives in a variety of settings. Students can expect to learn skills related to conducting research; program design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation; interpreting data; and mastering positive and respectful oral and written communication that support global health initiatives.
This program was co-created by the School of Public Health with the Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies.
