The field of global health is diverse - and so is the breadth of schools that offer programs to prepare tomorrow’s leaders in this booming industry.
Those who wish to specialize in this field should consider a variety of factors before deciding which institutions to enroll in. Most importantly, students should be clear about their career goals and know which schools excel in their area of interest.
Several factors can be used to gauge a school’s quality of service, including a school’s staffing, academic awards, research funding, class size, global partnerships, exchange programs and, of course, cost. Many renowned programs receive a large number of applications and offer less financial aid, whereas smaller programs provide substantial assistance while still delivering quality education.
