Graduates will be prepared for careers in research, policy, program management, and evaluation. Employers include government agencies, academic institutions, global technical agencies, international non‐governmental organizations, and private sector global health companies.

The online Certificate in Global Health is designed to train post-baccalaureate students and healthcare professionals for a career in global health and international development. The program stresses the development of analytic and technical skills required for pursing further work in the growing areas of global health and international development.
