Global Health
Amidst perpetually growing threats to global public health,
liberal education promotes a multifaceted approach to identify and
solve complex problems. Global health epitomizes this approach, and
prepares students to work in local, global, and/or international
communities in partnership with diverse institutions, organizations, and
individuals. Through this interdisciplinary and experiential learning,
students address real-world challenges by drawing on tools and
strategies from the field of global health.
