UW students, faculty flock to Global Health program
Since being launched four years ago, the UW Department of Global Health has grown to more than 50 faculty and 350 students. More than 900 applicants ompete annually for 35 graduate slots and less than two dozen health statistics fellowships. And while state budget woes have forced cuts in other departments, funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has allowed global health to rapidly expand its course offerings.
