What it is	This program teaches you how health systems, policies, and technology work across different countries and communities. You study international development, social policy, and health informatics — how data and technology shape healthcare delivery worldwide. The co-op option lets you work for four to eight months at a health organization while earning course credit, giving you real experience alongside classroom learning. It suits people who want to understand global health challenges and see how policy and technology can address them.	You study how societies develop, interact across borders, and address global challenges like poverty and inequality. This program combines politics, economics, and social policy rather than focusing on just one discipline. The co-op option lets you work with international organizations or NGOs between school terms, giving you practical experience alongside your coursework. It suits people curious about global issues who want to understand systems and institutions, not just volunteer or travel.
