Welcome to the Global Health Current Students page, your central hub for academic resources to help you navigate your degree requirements, course planning, and academic tools.
Track Your Progress
You can find your official degree requirements in the Undergraduate Academic Calendar for your year of entry. For previous years' calendars, please see "Other Calendars". You can also visit the Degree Requirements page for a summary of your program requirements.
Use your Degree Progress Report (DPR) to monitor your completed, in-progress, and outstanding degree requirements based on your official academic record. You are responsible for reviewing your DPR regularly to ensure accuracy.
Learn more about how to use the DPR to stay on track with your degree.
