DGHI now accepting applications for the Fall 2010 class of the MSc-GH program
The Duke Global Health Institute (DGHI), in collaboration with the Duke Graduate School, is currently accepting applications for the second cohort of the Master of Science in Global Health (MSc-GH) program, which will begin in August 2010.
The interdisciplinary program, which can be completed in 12-24 months, features courses in research methodology, and seminars on global health challenges, bioethics, and health systems in the developing world. Students then select four electives from a variety of departments across Duke University, allowing them to develop their knowledge and skills more fully within four thematic areas – Global Environmental Health, Disease Causation and Prevention, Population Sciences, and Global Health Policy and Management. The didactic component of the program will be supplemented by a fieldwork project at least 10 weeks in duration and a research-based scholarly thesis.
DGHI, which administers the program, offers students advising and extensive programming resources. The small size of the program (approximately 20 will be admitted) allows students to receive individual attention as they work towards their goals.
