 Global Health Studies promotes a rich understanding of local and global health issues from multiple perspectives. It emphasizes the link between health, culture, ethics, and economic and social development. Students studying global health are able to explore a range of topics, including the determinants of health, community health, epidemiology, nutrition, health policy, environmental health, sustainable development, and transnational health challenges.

Global health students successfully continue on to a variety of career pathways working towards improving population health and health equity. Graduates are employed at non-profit organizations as well as state, federal, and international agencies. They also continue their education in medicine, public health, policy, communication, planning, and law.
