The Certificate of Global Health (CGH) degree program is an online-only program.
The Certificate of Global Health (CGH) requires the completion of 12 credits and can be accomplished completely online. Non-PUBH course transfer credits may not be applied toward the CGH.
The Certificate in Global Health (CGH) brings together faculty and courses from across the university in an integrated program that prepares students in the health sciences, public health, and the practical social and cultural dimensions of implementing health and wellbeing programs in disadvantaged contexts. Students will explore links with global health challenges and prospects from the perspective of diverse fields of graduate study. The proposed certificate will foster a unique learning environment built around international and interdisciplinary studies.

Why the CGH?
The CGH is geared towards:
- those who currently work in a public health setting but may have no formal public health training
- those who wish to update their public health training
- those who work in related fields and wish to broaden their knowledge of public health issues and concepts.
The CGH may also be a good way to get started on the MPH degree (although admission into the Certificate in Global Health program does not guarantee admission into the MPH program). The Certificate in Global Health option could be completed in as little as a year.
