Overview

Students apply in their third year to Drexel’s Dornsife School of Public Health; those accepted begin working on their MPH as they complete their BA, getting their MPH a year earlier than if they had done the two degrees separately. They also have a chance to complete an undergraduate co-op and gain valuable work experience as they go.

Career

The Global Studies - Public Health at Drexel University prepares students for exciting international careers or at home working with diverse international populations. It prepares them by giving them foreign language fluency and offers a wide variety of courses in the social sciences, humanities, philosophy, hard sciences, cultural studies, and many other fields. While working on their Global Studies degree, students also are encouraged to study abroad, adding to their global perspective as well as perfecting their foreign language skills.

There are also many opportunities for doing co-op abroad: a chance to live overseas for six months while gaining valuable work experience and getting a chance to truly be part of the culture of the place where they are working. Study abroad opportunities exist in many countries in Europe, Africa, Latin America, and across Asia; co-op abroad employers can also be found in almost any part of the world.
