The Global Health Student Community
The UO Global Health minor student community represents a diversity of academic interests. Students come to the Global Health minor from various majors across campus. While many Global Health minors are Human Physiology, Psychology, and Biology majors, others come to the program from Anthropology, Chinese, Dance, Economics, Geography, General Science, Global Studies, Religious Studies, and Sociology, just to name a few. As of Spring 2021, 45% of Global Health minors paired their minor with two or more majors (21% Double Majors, 23% Triple Majors, 1% Quadruple majors). Our Global Health students are amazing!
