Global and Community Health

We are pleased to share with UCSC students the following list of courses relating to Global and Community Health. Two new degrees – a BA and BS in Global & Community Health – have been developed based on this list, and, subject to administrative approval,   we plan to open them for enrollment in the Fall of 2022.

In the meantime, we recommend that students who are interested in this emergent field use the list below, being mindful to research whether any particular course is being offered during the current academic year and whether or not it has enrollment restrictions (such as prerequisites, or majors-only requirements).
