Study Public Health in London in December!

If you have ever wanted to study abroad, but didn’t have the time or money to devote an entire quarter to this pursuit, consider taking Global Public Health (London) during the Ohio University Winter Intersession in November and December. 

The course typically begins with a bird’s eye tour of London from the British Airways London Eye Ferris wheel in Central London, after which we follow in the footsteps of the renowned epidemiologist John Snow and his investigation of one of the many Central London Cholera epidemics in the 1850’s (including dinner at the John Snow Pub).  The class hotel is literally across the street from the world-famous British Museum of Natural History, with it’s historical record of mankind for the last 10 million years!  We’ll also examine (and enjoy) the market experience at Covent Gardens, and shop indoors at Harrod’s department store.  Day trips are scheduled to local attractions such as Stonehenge, as well as significant public health venues.

GPH (London) is open to ALL STUDENTS, undergrads as well as graduate students, and participants will earn 5 credits at either the 400 or 600 level.  Travel dates are typically the week after Thanksgiving and into the first week of December.  Program costs for this trip will be approximately $2,200, plus the cost of 5 tuition credits, and spending money.  If you are on financial aid, you will want to keep in mind that the winter intersession is considered a separate term from fall, winter, and spring, and so your financial aid package may need to be adjusted to accommodate paying tuition for GPH-London.
