Master en Études de Santé Mondiale

The online Master of Science in Global Health and the Graduate Certificate in Global Health are new programs initiated by the Institute for Global Health at MSU, located within the College of Osteopathic Medicine.

The Master’s Program can be completed within one year and is completely online, with the exception of the option of education abroad or independent study experience. The faculty and courses represent many different colleges and disciplines within the university, such as veterinary medicine, human medicine, social science, and arts and letters; as well as non-governmental organizations and other agencies with a focus on global health.

In 1964, osteopathic physicians, working in cooperation with the Michigan Association of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons, were successful in obtaining a charter to establish an osteopathic medical college in Michigan. The original Michigan College of Osteopathic Medicine was located in Pontiac and admitted its first students in 1969. Today, more than 300 osteopathic students graduate each year as part of our mandate to produce primary care physicians for the state. The college also receives more research funding from the National Institutes of Health than any other osteopathic college in the nation.

Our mission is to provide world-class, osteopathic, student-centered graduate and medical education and research in order to foster community access to patient-centered medical care, and our vision is to prepare physicians in the science of medicine, the art of caring and the power of touch, with a world view open to all people.
