Student Opportunity: Global Health Independent Study

CGHSR offers a global health independent study to current and incoming University of Minnesota graduate and professional students.

This is an opportunity to earn academic credit while abroad that allows students to focus on a topic of their choosing. Potential topics include global health, determinants of health, ethics, comparative analysis of health systems or similar subjects.

Independent studies may be developed during fall, spring, or summer semester, for 1–3 credits. To enroll in an independent study with CGHSR, students should first reach out to the CGHSR team to identify a topic and faculty mentor.
