Global Health Minor
About the minor
The Global Health minor will allow you to develop an interdisciplinary understanding of health issues and health care in a global context. Through studying a broad range of courses, this minor will provide a solid foundation in social, cultural, epidemiological, environmental and nutritional determinants of health, and will explore the challenges that require global health solutions. You will investigate the health implications of globalization, as well as have the option for an engagement experience, both of which contribute to better understanding the determinants of health issues around the world.
