Outside the Classroom
Use Your Knowledge in the Real World
The global health studies program challenges you to perform beyond classroom walls. To successfully complete your degree, you must participate in study abroad, attend a yearly seminar series that will be led by a nationally recognized expert on a public health issue, and successfully complete a community- or internationally-based senior design project.
