Masters degree in Global Health:
The Masters degree in Global Health requires three quarters of course work and one quarter of field experience. This field experience will be mentored at an international site. The degree will specifically focus on scholarly, publishable research or project implementation or evaluation as a means of fostering entry into global health careers. Experiential learning in the Masters program will involve one quarter carrying out research, or other scholarly program work which will be available particularly at specific UCSF partner sites (such as Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, China, etc.) where key mentoring and supervision is available.
This option is available for those wishing to get a degree while completing the pathway. Although the requirements above would be helpful for Masters applicants, they are not necessary to be accepted into the program. Masters students are considered to be in the Pathway, and will be involved in future Pathways mentorship and educational developments.
