The Global Disease Biology major will provide students with broad preparatory scientific course work, global disease biology core classes, flexibility in upper division electives, and a strong research experience. Global Disease Biology core classes are intended to be transdisciplinary and focus on concepts that cut across human, animal, and plant diseases offering a unifying ecological and quantitative perspective on disease. Students plan their chosen emphasis of study as part of a required discussion course and in consultation with their adviser. Students will draw from many undergraduate courses currently offered on disease and health in a way that compliments the core courses required for the Global Disease Biology major. The major includes a senior research project, which each student designs to bridge the disciplines of the major.
