Learning Across Borders
CPH 559 Learning Across Borders: A Global Health Travel Experience
This course will provide an overview of global health issues and allow students to experience being a student who crosses borders to study public health in action in a destination country. Students will gain insights into the challenges and strategies involved in promoting and improving global health, with the destination country serving as a specific case study. This includes learning about the destination country from a health perspective, politics, economics, etc., while learning how to collaborate across borders. Students will engage with real-world examples and experiences in our destination country throughout the course through virtual and in-person interactions and field visits. This course includes international travel with additional fees associated beyond the course tuition.
