Attention
to Students Interested in the MS in Global Health Sciences: Please Read
In response to the many queries
about student eligibility,
this is clarification
about priorities
for admission to
the MS Degree in
Global Health Sciences
for the inaugural
class matriculating in the Fall
2008. While all UCSF students are
eligible to apply, this is an advanced
graduate degree, similar in many
respects to an MPH. The course of
study is intense and rigorous. Several
of the courses emphasize quantitative
research skills requiring some background
in epidemiology and
biostatistics. Students
most likely to benefit
from this degree
will be those who
have completed their
clinical core, have
had a formative experience in global
health, have a clear project in
mind for experiential fieldwork,
and present a convincing case for
a career in global health.
