The Global Health major builds on the strong ties between the liberal arts and the core concepts of public health to prepare students to make positive contributions in non-governmental organizations, consulting firms, community clinics, health systems corporations, professional associations, government agencies, research institutions, public relations firms, social work and a range of development and health care professions domestically and abroad.

The Global Health Major is interdisciplinary and requires students to design their own curriculum drawn from approved and relevant course listings and affiliated faculty, to take part in at least one internship or experiential learning opportunity/practicum experience, and to come together in a senior seminar where they complete a capstone senior thesis project.
