Global Health Minor
The minor in Global Health exposes students to the fields of international affairs, health science, and global public health- all with an emphasis on how environment, culture, economics, and politics impact the health status of whole populations. Global pandemics, drug resistance, rapid urbanization, slums, and pollution are just a few of the issues facing global health professionals each day. The minor will provide students with a solid introduction to the multidisciplinary field of global health and teach the necessary skills to begin to build their own unique global health careers. The Global Health minor will require students to successfully complete 18 credits of coursework. Please note that courses required by a major as part of course of study may not be used toward the minor. Students must declare the minor with their Academic Dean and are also required to obtain the approval of the Global Health Minor Advisor, Dr. Myriam Vuckovic.
