- Description
- The area of global health has become a critical field of study across and within diverse disciplines, because of the cross-border and cross-national implications of health-related risks for national security, commerce, transportation, and healthcare delivery itself. In collaboration with the College of Social Sciences and Humanities, the minor in global health is designed to provide undergraduate students an opportunity to explore and discuss the implications with an interdisciplinary lens. The minor is comprised of five courses: one foundation and one core course, three electives, and a global health experience to be approved by the global health minor advisor.
