Global Health Program
Global Health at Princeton University
Breaking Down Boundaries
Princeton’s vibrant Global Health Program brings domestic and international health issues to life through interdisciplinary research and teaching, hands-on learning and a focus on policy. The program is administered by the Center for Health and Wellbeing, an interdisciplinary unit within the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs.
The Global Health Program serves the broader Princeton community and offers students the opportunity to earn a certificate in Global Health and Health Policy. GHP is a hub for students interested in global health — whether they are seeking to participate in a summer internship in the United States or abroad, take health-related courses, find support for health-related thesis research, get involved with Princeton’s campus activities and events, or pursue plans for a career in global health.
Coronavirus Note: Princeton University is actively monitoring the situation around coronavirus (Covid-19) and the evolving guidance from government and health authorities, in keeping with our commitment to ensure the health and safety of all members of the University community. The latest University guidance for students, faculty and staff is available on the University’s Emergency Management website.
Due to the pandemic deaths last year, life expectancy at birth for Americans will shorten by 1.13 years to 77.48 years, according to a study conducted by CHW affiliate Noreen Goldman and Theresa Andrasfay, who earned her Ph.D. at Princeton and is now at the University of Southern California.
Thanks to a grant from Princeton’s 250th Anniversary Fund for Innovation in Undergraduate Education, CHW affiliate Heather Howard modified the SPIA Policy Task Force on “Health Care for Vulnerable Populations in the U.S.” to explore the crossroads of policy, the pandemic, and health inequities.
The Center for Health and Wellbeing has selected six students as Class of 2022 Health Scholars. All of them will receive financial support for travel and research to pursue internships and senior thesis research that relate to domestic and international health care and health policy.
A book penned by CHW affiliates Anne C. Case and Sir Angus Deaton was named to The New York Times’ list of “100 Notable Books of 2020.”
