In Global Health Studies, students learn to recognize key social, political, historical, and economic determinants of health, to critically analyze the role played by these determinants in global health concerns past and present, and to identify ethical and practical challenges and opportunities for designing equitable health interventions across cultural and geographical environments.
Our program’s strengths are found in the multidisciplinary and critical approaches our award-winning faculty take in their teaching and research. With expertise in anthropology, history, nutrition, public health, and sociology, we offer students a diversity of perspectives on the most pressing issues in global health.
