The global disease ecology degree will advance students understanding of the societal, environmental, and personal impacts of diseases that impact plants, animals, and humans living together in complex ecosystems. Their understanding of our connections with other organisms and species in diverse ecosystems from agricultural landscapes to global megacities to managed natural areas will develop from example-based study of disease causes and consequences and solutions from the past and present.
This degree in global disease ecology is perfect if they are interested in traditional health careers, health policy and regulation, global and public health, animal welfare, plant pathology, microbiology, food and water quality, sustainable agriculture, sustainable forestry, or environmental protection.
