    Frequently Asked Questions about Global Health

    If you're adventurous, passionate about making a difference in the world, and committed to helping others, you might want to consider a career in global health. With a global health degree, you'll work with vulnerable populations around the world and look for ways to use education, research, and policy to enhance health. You can specialize in areas like hygiene, nutrition, diagnostics, maternal and child health, or vaccines.

Program managers create operational guidelines for global health programs associated with nonprofit organizations, governments, and private companies.
