Global Health Studies
Global Health Studies offers students opportunities to study international and comparative perspectives on human health, drawing on such diverse fields as anthropology, sociology, economics, and policy studies. The mission of the program is to provide students, faculty, and future public health practitioners with the necessary skills to understand international health issues, learn about domestic and international approaches to international crisis management, and, ultimately, deal more effectively with our own diverse population.

In particular the department’s undergraduate and graduate programs emphasize the integration of the major anthropological subfields and the application of anthropological training both inside and outside of academia.
