Healthcare is a right, not a privilege, and The Henry J. and Erna D. Leir Master's of Health Science (MHS) in Community and Global Health is guided by that core principle. The program prepares you to improve access to healthcare locally and globally. You will build the skills and knowledge to promote health around the world through new community-based approaches. You will perform in-depth research and uncover data that illuminates both challenges and solutions. And you will gain the knowledge and confidence to drive policy changes, determine community needs, address health disparities, and solve pressing health-related challenges. The IDCE department facilitates transdisciplinary collaboration around 10 concentrations that range from climate change and conservation to youth development, urban regeneration, and health equity. We take a problem-first approach, identifying a pressing issue and then bringing together a diverse team of researchers and practitioners who have the collective expertise to tackle it. Core courses will introduce you to vital concepts and methods such as epidemiology and biostatistics, health disparities, health equity, the global burden in communicable and non-communicable diseases, and health systems. You'll then have the opportunity to focus your studies by choosing electives that address the relationship between health and a number of other areas: development, food, gender, environment, inequality, healthcare policy, and more. Accelerated degree options – earn a master's degree in 12 to 15 months. Two other degree tracks are available to earn your degree in 12 to 24 months.
