Are you interested in a career in global health? The Global Health 5-year Bachelor-Master of Science Program provides a pathway for undergraduate HSSP students to learn about health system design and function, with an eye toward structuring systems to improve health outcomes for people around the world. Students apply in the spring of their junior year through the Heller admissions process. Admitted students will take masters-level courses in the senior year, embark on an internship during the summer between their senior year and graduate school year, and complete an MS degree after one year of graduate study. Through partnerships, the Master of Science in Global Health Policy and Management program will help secure a summer internship for admitted students.
