About This Program

Double-counting note: Weinberg College prohibits double-counting a major course toward some other major or minor, except where this is explicitly permitted in this catalog. Weinberg College does allow double-counting a major course toward a general bachelor's degree requirement (i.e. degree requirements other than majors or minors). Other programs or schools may have their own restrictions that supersede this, so check the relevant parts of this catalog for possible limits. The experiential learning requirement enables students to enhance their understanding and apply what they are learning, obtain a broader view of the actions and impacts of global health practices and practitioners, and collaborate with and learn from others outside the classroom. Students may seek pre-approval for other options, but standard choices include the programs and courses listed below. Depending on the topic, other occasional courses may also be pre-approved by the program to be used as electives including some classes listed under AMER_ST 310-0, ANTHRO 390-0, ASIAN_AM 303-0, ASIAN_AM 360-0 , COMM_ST 395-0, ENGLISH 384-0, ENVR_POL 390-0, GSS 332-0,GSS 361-0, GSS 390-0, HISTORY 300-0 ,HISTORY 393-0, HUM 370-5 , MENA 390-3, NEUROSCI 390-0 , POLI_SCI 390-0 RELIGION 345-0, and RELIGION 349-0.
