Master of Arts [M.A] (Global Health)
Field of Study:
$26,460/Yr
- In this MA program, global health is considered to be much more than and very different from international public health
- Any effective, sustainable solutions to the most pressing global health challenges need to take all of these factors into account, including the complex ways in which they relate to each other. In this manner, this degree program teaches students to understand health as not simply a product of disease but rather emerging in the contexts of complex and interrelated ecology, politics, history, culture, social institutions and evolutionary biology
- Students accepted into the program are tied to ongoing transdisciplinary global health projects that address complicated, multifaceted health challenges that defy easy fixes, such as climate change-related diseases, emerging infectious diseases and obesity
