The Certificate in Public Health and Gender is an interdisciplinary undergraduate program jointly offered by the Department of Public Health (DPH) and the Department of Women and Gender Studies (WGST). This collaboration enables students to explore the connections between gender and health through multiple academic perspectives. Ideal for those passionate about the convergence of Public Health and Gender Studies, this certificate program attracts students who aim to:
Develop public health policies that enhance wellbeing across all genders, with particular focus on marginalized groups.
Challenge structural inequalities and health inequities stemming from gender and intersecting social factors.
Advance health equity by addressing gender-based and intersectional health disparities.
Drive social change through engaged scholarship and cross-disciplinary methods.
The program examines worldwide health challenges, cultural dynamics, and various determinants affecting health behaviors at individual and community levels. Through historical analysis, feminist frameworks, and public health methodologies, students will investigate how race, socioeconomic status, gender identity, sexual orientation, and global politics shape health outcomes. By leveraging the complementary strengths of DPH and WGST, participants will build professional connections across both disciplines while enriching their academic experience through interdisciplinary learning.
