The Cornell University Global Health Program has created a new minor in Global Health. The minor is intended to complement any academic major offered at the University, providing students with basic knowledge about global health as well as the necessary skills and experience to begin to build their own unique career pathway in global health. The minor is open to all undergraduate students in all colleges. The new minor will be attractive to current students who seek knowledge and skills related to global health.
The Global Health Minor is designed around three specific educational objectives for students: to learn more about the problems of global health in a classroom setting; to experience the issues in global health first-hand in a field-setting; and to see the full career pathway to work in global health, as they will be exposed to a diverse spectrum of graduate and medical students and faculty who are focusing on global health.
