The Department of Global Health therefore offers a wide assortment of coursework, all of which emphasizes the multidimensional character of human health.  We strive to provide students with robust analytical, intellectual, critical thinking, and practical skill sets through which to challenge health problems, preparing our students to be the next generation of leaders in the field.

The following courses are currently offered through the Department of Global Health. Courses that are 100 to 400 level are for undergraduate students. Courses 500 and above are for graduate students.
