Global Health Postbaccalaureate Certificate

The Global Health Certificate is designed for students who have a strong interest in global health, who have a desire to understand cultures, and who may want to experience first-hand a global applied practice experience that could prepare them for work in a global setting. Many students may want to complete the Certificate to complement their graduate degree.

It is increasingly recognized that issues that affect health transcend national boundaries and that the development and implementation of solutions to such health problems require global cooperation. Global health represents an interdisciplinary approach that embraces both disease prevention in populations and the clinical care of individuals, with a strong emphasis on health equity and health as a public good.

The School of Public Health is accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH).
