Global Health Major (Science Program) - ASMAJ2575

HMB: Global Health

The objective of the HMB: Global Health program is to provide students with instruction in fundamental biological sciences and to integrate a broad understanding of the socio-economic and cultural determinants of health to populations around the world.

This is an open enrolment program. A student who has completed 4.0 credits may enrol in the program.

Required Courses (8.0 credits, including a 0.5 credit at the 400-level)

To help students proceed through the program, it is recommended that first year life science requirements are completed before entering the program.

Global Health Major Notes:
1.
Courses can only count toward one requirement, even if listed as options to multiple requisites of the program
2. Not all courses listed have priority enrolment for Global Health majors. Students are responsible for checking priority of courses and meeting course prerequisites for courses they wish to take.
3. The Global Health major cannot be paired with any other Human Biology Program managed major program.
4. Effective Fall 2021, courses associated with New College's African Studies program will have the new "AFR" designator.
