Master of Science in Global Health

Overview of Program

As the 21st century unfolds, international attention is focusing increasingly on the health concerns of poor and marginalized populations, and the ramifications of global health inequities for development. From pandemics to environmental degradation, global health is an economic concern and a human issue.

The Master of Science in Global Health (MSc-GH) is designed to appeal to an array of students, researchers, policy makers, managers, analysts, and clinical practitioners who desire a more complete understanding of the diverse causes of and solutions to health problems from an interdisciplinary global perspective.

The innovative curriculum involves faculty from multiple departments and schools at Duke, and teaches students the fundamentals of global health issues and core concepts in research methodology, while also allowing room in the curriculum to focus on a specific area, such as environmental health or health policy.

Upon completion of the MSc-GH, graduates will be prepared to engage in clinical, epidemiological, social-behavioral, and policy-oriented research, as well as contribute to the design, implementation, and management of health programs.
