  • This 12-credit certificate will enhance your knowledge of the health, socio-economic and political environments that affect the health status of individuals and population groups.
  • The certificate may be taken independently and upon completion may serve as an entry to the M.P.H., or it may be completed as part of an M.P.H. degree in any of the degree program areas.
  • The faculty includes internationally-recognized practitioners and scholars with significant experience in international health, and ties to the United Nations.
