Overview
Many threats to health exist today-from biomedical challenges, such as infectious diseases and chronic illnesses-to psychosocial challenges, such as poverty and violence. Ecological and cultural factors shape the meanings that health practitioners and families attribute to health and illness, and how these connotations influence choices made regarding care practices, exposure to potential dangers, requests for assistance, and responses to interventions. With small class sizes that have individualized attention to support varied student career paths in the exciting field of global health, the Master of Public Health (M.P.H) degree at Syracuse University incorporates the study of cultural health norms and practices and integrates the study of historical experiences of ethnic groups and their culturally determined patterns of dealing with issues of health and illness. The program introduces students to methods and statistics in public health and, through the program’s global health concentration, focuses on applications in the global community, culminating in a 6 to 8-week U.S. based or international placement during the 1st or 2nd summer of the program.
Why this degree makes a difference in society today…tomorrow…
Our globally focused advanced degree in public health teaches students about the public health issues and solutions that vary across cultures and countries, providing an important foundation for global public health work. With this unique worldview, our MPH trains students in seeking out best practices around the globe and applying them to address specific international public health initiatives. The combination of academic coursework and a global internship requirement prepares students to implement critical public health agendas, from investigating causes of illnesses and epidemics, developing effective disease prevention policies, to designing educational and wellness programs in countries without advanced public health practices.
