    What is a Bachelor in Global Health? Such a program is designed with a commitment to diverse perspectives, internationalization and civic engagement in mind. Throughout the duration of the program, participants may gain an in-depth understanding of the links between health and socioeconomic status, ethics, environment and culture. Courses may focus on the health of communities in low-resource regions in particular, as such regions generally see the most pressing health problems.

Many improve their critical thinking and analysis capabilities to apply them to global issues and develop effective solutions to global healthcare crises. Each of these traits may prove to be beneficial in their personal and professional lives.

    How much a person may expect to pay for his or her bachelor’s degree all depends on location and program duration. Prospective students should do their research before applying.
