Engaged Curriculum Grants

Global and Public Health Sciences Major

Reaching underserved communities with health prevention and treatment information through a major that promotes cultural sensitivity and community engagement.

Addressing public health problems requires a multidisciplinary and pragmatic approach with cultural and ethical sensitivity. This is why Cornell’s expanding major in global and public health sciences requires students to connect theory and practice through community-engaged learning experiences. In the major, three to six credit hours of supervised fieldwork is complemented by a preparatory seminar and a capstone course that challenges students to draw on both their classroom and experiential learning. Faculty in the program have developed a diverse portfolio of sustainable, mutually beneficial community partnerships that are accessible to all students in the major.

Grant type: Development (2018-19), Development (2015-16)

Topics: Health, Nutrition and Medicine
