Graduate Certificate in Global Health
Certificate Details
A graduate certificate program is a linked series of credit bearing graduate courses that constitutes a coherent body of study and culminates in a capstone project. The Global Health curriculum emphasizes the sociopolitical, economic, and geographic factors that, in addition to biomedical factors, have an impact on health in developing countries. The Graduate Certificate in Global Health is intended to enhance the education of matriculated UW graduate students and professional students beyond their regular course of study or to provide continuing education to graduate nonmatriculated (GNM) students.
Applications are accepted throughout the year and reviewed quarterly.
Students will qualify for the certificate upon completion of 15 credits of approved coursework, a global health work experience, and a capstone project. Completed graduate certificates are recorded on the student's UW transcript.
