The UAB Sparkman Center for Global Health is pleased to offer an accredited graduate certificate program in Global Health Studies (GHS). This 15-hour certificate program is offered to any UAB graduate student who wishes to gain knowledge and skills in the field of global health. Students may choose from several online or classroom-based courses to meet the requirements for this program (please see curriculum planning sheet). Upon successful completion of program requirements, students will receive a certificate of completion awarded by the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
No student will be awarded a GHS certificate until all of his or her primary degree requirements have been successfully completed. In addition, no courses that count towards the completion of a degree program can simultaneously count towards the completion of the GHS certificate program, and any coursework completed as part of the GHS certificate program will not count towards the completion of a graduate degree program.
