College of Health Sciences Global Scholars Program

The College of Health Sciences (CHS) Global Scholars Program is for interesting students in the CHS. The program will be open to students interested in developing global preparedness, international travel, cultural immersion and experiential learning in a healthcare-related field in an international community setting.
