Global Health, Culture and Society Program

The most pressing challenges to global health are not biological and technical, but rather social, economic and political. Future leaders need to know about the range of serious health problems facing people at home and around the globe and the intersecting economic, political and cultural factors that determine them. The undergraduate minor in Global Health, Culture and Society offers an integrated set of interdisciplinary courses aimed at understanding the complex interplay of the economic, social, ethical, behavioral and biomedical dimensions of population health.

The Global Health, Culture and Society Minor is administered by the Anthropology Department.
