Our world is an increasingly interrelated global community where infections cross borders quickly, raising the risk of widespread contaminations. The emergence of infectious diseases resistant to antibiotics increases the threat of worldwide pandemics, while even non-infectious diseases such as asthma and cardiovascular disease dominate in countries around the world.
One thing is clear: protecting the public requires unprecedented international cooperation, a constant search for best practices in health delivery, and innovative solutions through strategic partnerships and collaboration.
The Global Health certificate program provides students with a multidisciplinary understanding of the concept of global health and its implications for all individuals across a wide variety of topics including medicine, food, culture, policy, economics, and communication. Coursework helps students identify health problems and develop skills to enable efforts that solve global health problems. Students complete an internship with health institutions around the world to gain real-world experience.
