Capstone course for global health minors assists students to explore their topical interests in global health and integrate these with their field experiences, core knowledge in global health, and personal values and ethical frameworks. Course content is driven largely by student topical interests and experiences, and selected guest speakers. Explorations are done through individual work, team projects, and classroom discussions.

Outcome 1: Become familiar with a wide range of global health issues and topics.

Outcome 2: Be able to reflect on their field experiences in relations to these broader issues, topics, core knowledge in global health and personal values.

Outcome 3: Be able to relate a wide range of issues and topics to some broader, generic frameworks and thereby discern features that were not immediately apparent beforehand.
