The Global Public Health Co-Majors
All GPH co-majors--regardless of school--are required to complete the 6 core courses, combined major electives, and engage in a semester-long study away experience at one of NYU's global sites. In addition, students in the CAS majors are required to take a foreign language. Students should review the specific list of requirements for their major (see below) as requirements vary by school and major.
General questions should be directed to the GPH co-major advisor listed below. Questions about registration and enrollment may be directed to gph.registration@nyu.edu. For urgent advising inquiries, please email gph.ugadvising@nyu.edu.
Please note: The Global Public Health co-major is not a standalone major and must be combined with a degree-granting bachelor's program within CAS, GLS, Nursing, Silver, or Steinhardt.
