Global Health Minor

Global health matters

This unique program combines an immersive study abroad experience and rigorous skills preparation for careers in medicine, public and global health, and a variety of other health and wellness fields.

Students in the Global Health Minor are provided a rich classroom background in global and public health, which encourages an understanding of global issues and a path forward as informed and compassionate global citizens. During the capstone field work experience at one of a number of international locations, including South Africa, Ecuador, and Mexico, students complete medical and public health rotations and participate in a host of cultural activities, giving them unprecedented access to hands-on career experience.

The Global Health Minor is a strong foundation for students seeking careers in:

  • medicine,
  • public health,
  • international development,
  • government,
  • social services,
  • and research and education across diverse disciplines.
