Master of Public Health - Global Health

Global health is the understanding of health care in an international and interdisciplinary framework while focusing on improving health and health care equity for populations worldwide. Global health has become a significant area of interest in part due to globalization and the COVID-19 pandemic. The UC MPH-Global Health concentration provides training in analytical and methodological skills to effectively assess population health and disease surveillance, human subject ethics, and risk exposure. This program prepares students to critically evaluate key challenges, policies, and processes as they affect the health of populations in a global context. Students will build skills around strategic planning, professional networking, crisis management, and the development of policy initiatives under international frameworks and institutions, including diplomacy and leadership.
