Academics
Take the next step in your educational journey by earning your degree from the Global and Community Health Program at UC Santa Cruz.
Why study global and community health at UC Santa Cruz?
Just as healthcare and public health are interdisciplinary endeavors, so is our Global and Community Health program. Our goal is for GCH students to leave UCSC with a broad and sophisticated understanding of what health means for individuals, communities, nations, and the planet.
We offer B.A. and B.S. degrees in Global and Community Health, ideal for students interested in partnering with community members and translating research into action at local, national or global levels through such diverse pathways as medicine, health programs, advocacy, policy, and health systems strengthening.
Students reflect repeatedly through the major on how their own personal learning can be effectively connected with and communicated to external audiences ranging from community organizations to employers to graduate schools.
