Degrees offered

Digital & Data Studies (DiDA) Concentrations

Global Public Health is partnering with the Digital & Data Studies (DiDa) to offer two concentrations within the GPH major, one focusing on data analysis, and the other in digital communications. All of the courses on these tracks are chosen to be accessible to students at any stage of their career, as early as freshman year.

Students in the BA and BS (non-FHP) can use up to 12 credits in these tracks towards their major. Such courses fulfill the "Electives" requirement of their major.

Internships, research opportunities and more

In addition to course work, students will conduct research for a capstone project over two semesters, and have opportunities for experiential learning. Students can also apply up to 8 credits of study abroad, internship, independent study/research or service learning to their degree's elective requirements.

Incoming students should consider the Community and Global Public Health First-year Research Immersion (FRI) Stream. FRI programs provide high-achieving first-year students with hands-on research experience. 

After you graduate

Students will be well-positioned for employment in public health, health advocacy, international development, non-profits and other service organizations, as well as further study in global public health, public health, health law and health/patient advocacy.
