Certificate in Global Health
A certificate of completion is under development as recognition of a student’s interest and accomplishments in preparing themselves for continued involvement and possibly a career in global health. The certificate will highlight the student's global health focus and ability to collaborate across disciplines in applications of Global Health. The certificate will not appear on the transcript, but will be provided as a separate document to demonstrate successful completion of the requirements set forth by Framework faculty.
The requirements to receive this certificate differ by discipline, but emphasize discipline-specific and interdisciplinary coursework and or projects that reinforce skills and promote a broad understanding of health issues with a global dimension. In general this will entail the completion of INTH 301/401: Fundamentals of Global Health, any additional courses from the student's department-specific Global Health Curricium, and a minimum of two additional courses listed in this framework curriculum. Students may also subsititute international global health projects for some course work with the permission of Framework faculty.
The specific requirements for each department are listed below
Note: All coursework must receive a grade B or higher
Math/Applied Math specialization:
1) Complete INTH 301/401
2) Complete a basic course in Epidemiology or Biostatistics (EPBI 490, EPBI 491, EPBI 492, or EPBI 431/ANAT 431/BIOL 431)
3) Complete a course in mathematical modeling with focus on bio-medical applications (MATH 349/449, Math 385 or EECS397/EECS600)
4) Complete a health related modeling project with global perspective (may be substituted with other course work).

Anthropology
Undergraduates:
1) INTH 301 Fundamental Concepts in Global Health
2) ANTH 215: Introduction to Medical Anthropology
3) ANTH 359: Introduction to International Health
4) One elective selected from list of approved electives in the Anthropology Department.
Graduates:
1) INTH 401: Fundamental Concepts in Global Health
2) ANTH 459: Introduction to International Health
3) ANTH 511: Seminar in Anthropology and Global Health
4) One elective selected from list of approved electives in the Anthropology Department.
As demonstarted above, each student in this program will share the core course to develop a basic understanding of concepts and vocabulary that will allow communication at a high level with others working in global health but based in a different discipline. This 3 credit hour course is INTH 301/401: Fundamentals of Global Health, offered in the Spring semesters. The course is taught by instructors from different disciplines, but the instruction all refers back to the same set of 3 case studies in international health.
