SIT Study Abroad Switzerland: Global Health & Development Policy (Summer)
Explore global health issues and compare public health systems within the framework of international and sustainable development, humanitarian action, human rights, and social justice.
WHY STUDY GLOBAL HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT IN SWITZERLAND?
Geneva is the world capital of public health and sustainable development organizations, making it the ideal place to study global health and development policy. You will build your understanding of these issues through a combination of in-class lectures by academic and policy experts and site visits and briefings with leading intergovernmental and nongovernmental health and development agencies in Geneva. While on your program, you may have opportunities to meet with experts from the World Health Organization (WHO), International Committee of the Red Cross, and Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), among others.
Please visit the SIT Study Abroad website for details on the program highlights and details of coursework, educational excursions, and housing.
