Graduate Certificate in Global Health

Have an interest in working in underdeveloped or resource-limited areas, with a high emphasis on cross-cultural and international contexts? The Graduate Certificate in Global Health from Liberty University focuses on environmental and infrastructural solutions tailored to resource-limited settings, including sanitation strategies and healthcare delivery adapted to local conditions.

This certificate can enhance your resume by providing skills relevant to careers in global missions, humanitarian aid, and international organizations, where cultural understanding is crucial.

Rooted in Liberty’s mission to Train Champions for Christ, the program encourages students to pursue global health work as a form of Christian service. This means that this program is particularly suited for individuals interested in missionary work, international nonprofit roles, or faith-based outreach.

The Global Health Graduate Certificate is designed to prepare you to lead international health projects or humanitarian initiatives. Here, you can gain an understanding of:

  • Sanitation
  • Cultural health behavior
  • Infectious disease prevention

This certificate is associated with Liberty University’s Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) – Global Health program and is available to graduate students in any major.

The Global Health Graduate Certificate is also available online.

Hands-On Opportunities

Residentially, there are multiple opportunities for certificate students to be engaged, such as the Remedy Conference, Global Health Conference, and field trips.

Public Health Professors and Opportunities

Our program features multiple international faculty members who have lived and worked in global settings, served in regular mission organizations, and continue to do so in both small and larger capacities. Not only are the faculty subject matter experts with advanced degrees in Public Health, but those with expertise in global health have also lived in communities with underserved populations and now focus on giving back to these areas.

Our M.P.H. program also has a large and diverse body of international students, which attracts bodies of research. This can also create opportunities for students to engage. Our M.P.H. degree program is CEPH-accredited, and all certificate classes are aligned with the M.P.H. program.
