Northwestern’s Global Health Studies BA addresses the complex determinants of health through lenses of epidemiology, anthropology, policy, and ethics. Field-based courses partner students with clinics in Guatemala, NGOs in South Africa, and refugee-aid organizations in Chicago. A core sequence in biostatistics and health systems equips majors to analyze disease burdens, while electives tackle climate-related health risks and digital-health innovations. Interdisciplinary capstones pair undergraduates with medical-school mentors to co-author white papers or design community interventions. Graduates excel in public-health practice, medical school, health consulting, and humanitarian research.
