Global Health mCGS

All students must meet the Requirements for the micro-Certificate of Graduate Study.

Overview

The field of environmental health continues to become more global in response to globalization and changing public health issues. Infectious diseases are not bound by borders and are often related to environmental change. Examples like COVID-19 and Zika emphasize the local and global nature of disease, and climate change with its impact on weather, disease, food, water, vectors and emergency response.

The University of Vermont’s online micro-Certificate of Graduate Study in Global Health is a 6-credit (2 course) program that gives students the opportunity to explore the global nature of health and disease including the environment, infectious disease, climate change, global health data, and social health determinants
