Interdisciplinary Degrees

The School of Global Public Health at NYU offers thirteen innovative undergraduate combined majors in collaboration with several of NYU’s prestigious schools, including the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), Steinhardt, Silver, and Meyers. These combined majors allow you to tailor your degree to accommodate both your passion for public health as well as your interest in another complementary field, from nursing to nutrition to anthropology.  The program offers courses that combine elements of research, policy, and practice, giving you an essential conceptual and theoretical foundation that is complemented by practical, real-world experience.  All GPH majors--regardless of school--are required to complete 6 public health core courses (24 credits), one to three combined major electives, 90 hours of a public health experiential learning internship,  and a semester-long study away experience at one of NYU's global sites.  Majoring in Global Public Health will prepare you for entry into not-for-profits, government organizations, social service agencies, international health services and programs, as well as provide excellent preparation for further public health study at the masters, doctoral and professional school levels, including GPH’s own Master of Public Health program.
