Program Overview

The highly selective, demanding NYU undergraduate co-majors in Global Public Health allow students to choose a course of study that is a combination of public health and an academic discipline. As a future health practitioner, students will study a variety of topics such as epidemiology, media culture, politics, health policy, technology, and ethics.

Curriculum

• Review the degree requirements for the combined GPH/MCC co-major.
• Course work is combined with experiential learning and global exposure to ensure that students are broadly trained and uniquely prepared for a variety of careers.
• A semester at an NYU global site is a requirement for all Global Public Health co-majors.
• While students are not required to take a public health course during their semester away, many core courses are offered at these NYU global sites: Accra, Ghana; Buenos Aires, Argentina; London, U.K.; Sydney, Australia.
