With increasing globalization, there is a growing need for health economists who can translate research into policy and directly inform governments and organizations on the best course of action. Through the MHS in Global Health Economics in the Department of International Health, students learn how health economic principles and applied health cases from around the world are used to address global issues such as migration, displaced persons, climate change, vaccine access, injuries, and pandemics. They’ll also learn how health economics can be used to promote healthy lifestyles, positive health outcomes, and equitable access to care. This program is ideal for those who are interested in examining key global issues—such as migration, displaced persons, climate change, vaccine access, injuries, obesity, and pandemic—through an economic lens. The MHS attracts applicants from around the globe and from a wide variety of professional and academic backgrounds. While some may enter the program with only a solid undergraduate degree, others will enter the program with a great deal of experience. The Master of Health Science (MHS) in Global Health Economics is a 9-month academic program that teaches students how to use economic tools to help solve pressing global health problems.
