Description:
New York University (NYU) recognizes that no single disciplinary approach is
sufficient to respond to today's complex global health challenges.
Therefore, five of NYU's premier professional schools (Education, Culture,
and Human Development; Medicine; Dentistry; Public Service; and Social Work)
collaboratively offer the NYU Master's Program in Global Public Health,
awarding the Master of Public Health degree (M.P.H.). The program prepares
professionals with advanced degrees from multiple disciplines to play
leadership roles in promoting global health. Graduates of this program will
be uniquely qualified to lead multidisciplinary initiatives to enhance the
health status of individuals and communities around the world. Each of the
schools participating in the global M.P.H. program has a network of
international colleagues that provides a strong basis for a truly global
experience. Our students come from all over the world, drawn by dynamic
programs at NYU and the distinctive spirit of New York City. Students in the
Master's Program in Global Public Health will become part of this diverse
community while enjoying the myriad offerings and research opportunities of
a global, urban, research university. Students select from one of four
concentrations: Epidemiology; Health Promotion, Disease Prevention, and
Human Migration; Health Policy and Management; and Oral Public Health. In
addition to the core public health curriculum, students take courses within
their particular area of concentration and participate in an integrative
seminar series. Students also complete a global public health internship as
well as a final capstone project consisting of a real-life consulting
engagement with an international public health organization. Dual degree
programs with the School of Medicine, College of Dentistry, and College of
Nursing are also offered.

Description:
This certificate program is designed to allow college graduates to take the
prerequisite science courses needed for application to many health
professional schools, including medical (M.D. or D.O.) and dental (D.D.S.)
programs. Our program is designed specifically for "career-changers"--those
who have not taken the prerequisite science courses as undergraduates but
who now wish to build careers in the health professions. Students in our
program receive individual advising and the support of our Committee on
Recommendations to Schools of the Health Professions.

Description:
The Gallatin School of Individualized Study is an innovative and
interdisciplinary graduate program at New York University for the focused
and disciplined student who wishes to cross the boundaries of education by
creating a unique program of study. The Gallatin student works closely with
a faculty adviser to design a tailor-made M.A. degree that can draw from
several disciplines in the various NYU graduate schools. All courses
selected must be integrated around a particular theme, problem, artistic
endeavor, or professional activity. The Gallatin student also has the option
to include independent studies, tutorials, internships, and private lessons
in the arts as part of the curriculum. While Gallatin is a flexible program,
certain required courses ensure that our students are well prepared to
pursue a self-designed study. A master’s thesis is the final requirement and
may be in the form of an extended research paper, an artistic work, or a
professional project.

Description:
The Africana Studies M.A. degree program offers a broad interdisciplinary
curriculum in the study of Africans and Afro-descendants globally, focusing
mainly on the following geographical areas: North America, Europe, Latin
America, the Caribbean, and Africa. Students concentrate in any one of these
areas, compare and contrast between two or more areas, or take courses in
all five of these areas. The Master of Arts degree prepares students for
further research leading to the Ph.D. degree in history, literature,
American studies, anthropology, political science, sociology, or cinema
studies or leading to careers in education, cultural institutions, or public
affairs.

Description:
The aim of the Program in Computational Biology (COB) is to produce
scientists trained in the modeling and mathematical analysis of biological
systems using sophisticated computational methods. This rapidly evolving
field addresses the complex challenges of the 21st century in understanding
the behavior of biological systems and human diseases. Computational
biologists with the skill to do this are now widely sought by industry,
research centers, and universities. COB is a multidisciplinary stand-alone
program that involves six different divisions and departments at New York
University and Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Participating departments and
divisions are NYU Graduate School of Arts and Science (Biology, Chemistry,
Mathematics, and Neural Science), NYU School of Medicine Sackler Institute
of Graduate Biomedical Sciences, and Mount Sinai School of Medicine
(Biomedical Sciences Program). The COB program features:
- Dual faculty advisers in both biological and computational science
- Interdisciplinary training through flexible and background-tailored
tracks, trainee-led seminars, and ethics/research conduct courses
- Summer internships in industry, academia, or government laboratories
- Learning environments and activities that promote interdisciplinary
interactions and broader collaborations within and outside NYU/MSSM
- Mentoring and career development activities

Description:
The Program in Bioethics is part of NYU’s Bioethics Center, based in the
Faculty of Arts and Science with close ties with faculty members in clinical
and environmental medicine, public and international health, environmental
studies and conservation education, law, and public service. In addition,
there are visiting professors and fellows who teach and take part in
faculty-student conferences and research groups. One of the program’s
principal academic aims is to broaden and conjoin the disciplines of medical
ethics and environmental ethics. Although each field has proven especially
productive in recent decades, there has been little cross-fertilization. The
primary focus of medical ethics has been the life and health of individual
hospital patients and clinical research subjects, while environmental ethics
has attended to nonhuman populations and their ecosystems. But recently,
medical ethics has been expanding to include broader issues of
environment-relevant public and global health and disease, while
environmental ethics now includes health-relevant patterns of consumption,
waste, and transportation. As a result, there are analogous principles,
concepts, and concerns whose similarities and contrasts invite mutually
illuminating examination. This and other program aims are advanced by the
variety of eight core and elective courses required for the master’s degree,
as well as by a practicum—firsthand experience of New York committees,
collective projects, and policy or advocacy groups addressing medical or
environmental ethical issues. The master’s essay may grow out of and reflect
on this practical experience, or, alternatively, may take up more
theoretical matters studied in one or more of the courses. Full-time
students can complete the degree in a 12-month period, including summer
session independent study. Part-time students may take as little as one
course a semester.
