Overview

There is a growing appreciation that promoting health in Africa will require close collaboration between international affairs and world area specialists and public health professionals. In order to achieve significant progress in global health, new forms of international cooperation must be developed. Increased global mobility and trade have also increased the potential transfer of health-related risks such as infectious and food borne diseases.

Health related issues such as the marketing and trade of harmful goods or the pricing of pharmaceuticals set new challenges for international agreements, sovereignty and global accountability. Increasingly, health is seen as an issue of foreign relations, international law, trade negotiations and security.

Many health problems can no longer be contained through action of individual nation states and call for a redefinition of national interest. Prime examples are found in the extreme health inequalities between developed and developing nations and the destabilizing spread of HIV/AIDS are a case in point.

Features

Consequently, the African Studies (AFST) graduate program within the Council on African Studies and the Yale MacMillan Center and the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences jointly with the Yale School of Public Health (YSPH) offer a joint degree program for students who plan careers in which public health issues in Africa promise to be significant.

The African Studies and Public Health joint degree from Yale University, combines the AFST two-year Master of Arts degree (MA) with the YSPH two-year Master of Public Health degree (MPH). The joint degree program normally requires three years of full-time study, and the MA and the MPH are awarded simultaneously at the conclusion of the three-year period.
