Colgate’s Global Public and Environmental Health Program helps students to understand interdisciplinary perspectives on critical health issues and the skills needed to address them, both locally and on a global scale. Students in public health learn to think critically, speak, and write clearly and articulately about health issues from a variety of perspectives. The global public health curriculum combines interdisciplinary breadth with depth in a chosen field of study.
The Global Public and Environmental Health Program, part of the Division of University Studies, features faculty from four academic divisions. This interdisciplinary program offers a minor with a core introductory course and a selection of specialized courses chosen with an adviser. To complete the minor, students must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.00 across all relevant courses.
