Overview

Global Health majors are uniquely positioned to evaluate the patterns and societal issues associated with understanding and responses to diseases. They will have the ability to understand, evaluate, and critically assess health from a global perspective and can contribute to multiple sectors of society.

Why Global Health?

Sustained importance of an emerging discipline.

The global health major is geared to provide critical exposure to applied and experiential-based learning to understand health from a local yet global context. Interdisciplinarity is at the core of the discipline of global health. Students will examine critical problems and methodologies that are specific to global health as well as additional fine arts, humanities, social and natural science disciplines.

Denison University students are immersed in the field through a core set of six global health courses, two elective courses, two consecutive language courses (beyond the general education requirement), and an experiential learning component, during which students apply ethical approaches in global health research and practice, and display critical self-reflection, cultural humility and ongoing learning in global health.

Central to the global health major is a critical examination of health disparities, the interaction between health and the environment, and the burden of disease and mortality. Global health majors will analyze quantitative and qualitative data in order to inform policy and programmatic change. Upon completion of the major, students will be competent in addressing global health issues with a critical lens and from a culturally relevant perspective.

Learning Competencies

The learning competencies for the major are:

Analyze the roles, relationships, and resources of the entities influencing global health (GH100 and GH400);
Apply ethical approaches in global health research and practice (GH201 and GH400);
Apply monitoring and evaluation techniques to global health programs, policies, and outcomes (GH202 and GH400);
Propose sustainable and evidence-based multi-sectoral interventions, considering the social determinants of health and resources specific to the local area (Experiential Learning Component, GH 202 and GH 400);
Display critical self-reflection, cultural humility, effective communication, and ongoing learning in global health (all GH core courses and Language courses).
