The MS Global Health Equity program will be open to applications from students of various undergraduate backgrounds. For students who have completed their undergraduate degree and are considering going to medical school and would like to gain more practical experience, this program would be incredibly beneficial.
This program can be completed as a part-time option, which makes it possible for working professionals to also succeed in the program.

Full-time students will be able to complete the program in three semesters and one summer.
