Opportunities within the field of global health are expanding as the world becomes more interconnected. Recognizing that many global health problems stem from economic, social, environmental, political, and health care inequalities, Duke has designed strong programs in global health education across the university. The Master of Science in Global Health emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, a research experience, and mentorship from expert faculty. We prepare our graduates to make an impact in the reduction of health disparities.

The Duke Master of Science in Global Health is one of the first programs of its kind in the United States. Duke also offers the program at Duke Kunshan University in China.
