Undergraduate

Global Health Studies Program

The Global Health Studies Program facilitates global health education for undergraduates at Yale. Although not a major, it offers courses through an interdisciplinary framework that brings together the natural sciences, the social sciences and the humanities. Students choose a major and expand their discipline with elective courses offered by the Program. 

Please see Global Health Studies for details or contact Program Advisor, Kaveh Khoshnood at healthstudies@yale.edu to learn more about global health coursework, internship and research projects. 

Interdisciplinary Concentrations

Students in several departments including Political Science, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, History, Anthropology, Global Affairs, and Environmental Studies can pursue interdisciplinary concentrations within their respective majors, allowing them to pursue an area of study that crosses conventional disciplinary and department boundaries. For details about coursework, please consult the Director of Undergraduate Studies for your major.
