Resources & Opportunities
Long-term health for your career
In the United States alone there are a variety of complex public health issues to examine — including how to provide healthcare for a large aging population, recent state-level and national healthcare legislation, and national pandemic preparedness and response. International issues include nutrition, vaccinations and disease prevention.
In other words, there’s a lot of room to make your mark in this field.
Careers in public health and health-related fields are on the rise nationally. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that careers in health will be one of the fastest-growing sectors well into the future. Trust us, we do our research.
Get off campus
Students in the Global Public Health program participate in either an internship or a study-abroad program focused on health and designed to deepen their understanding of specific issues. Many students choose to study abroad for a full semester, but we also offer short-term two-week trips during our January and May Scots Terms.
