The Master of Arts in Global Health and Society (GHS) provides students with cross-cultural competency and profound understanding of how global health interplays with society, culture, and the environment. The global health arena finds international development professionals and medical practicioners confonting multifaceted health issues that stem from underserved populations. Taking a transdiciplinary approach that draws from diverse perspectives, this degree prepares students to create systems-changing solutions in careers such as health policy, analysis, governmental organizations, NGOs, and more.
Our 31-credit degree guides graduates to reinvent the public health paradigm by building partnerships with other agencies fighting critical health issues from communities throughout the world. Students become masters in glocalization by adapting global strategies to local contexts while respecting cultural nuances and prioritizing community engagement. This top-down approach teaches GHS members how to apply global health principles to both domestic and international challenges.
