“With this year’s expanded menu of course options, I’m confident students can find a path that interests them and fuels their passion for global health. It’s an exciting time to be involved in global health at Duke,” said Gary Bennett, director of DGHI Undergraduate Studies and associate professor of psychology and neuroscience and global health. “We are able to offer new courses in part because of our success in recruiting the best minds to Duke. We have a growing group of world-class faculty and researchers at DGHI who are committed to our students and their growth as global health leaders.”
Bookbagging began on Monday and drop/add begins Wednesday Oct. 31. For course descriptions and other details, visit the DGHI Course Catalogue.
