SUNY Plattsburgh offers partial scholarships to 100% of accepted international students. We do not offer full scholarships — our award packages cover between 20 – 40% of your total cost of attendance.

We award scholarships based on your academic merit (high school average or transfer GPA) and student type (first-year or transfer). We determine scholarship amounts after conducting a holistic review of your grades, academic and non-academic achievement, activities and exam scores (if available). You will be notified of your scholarship awards when you receive your admission decision.

The scholarship packages are renewable each year you attend.

There are 3 different types of scholarship

Scholarships for International First-Year Students

A first-year student is an applicant who has never earned college credit. All applicants who have earned college credits are considered transfer applicants.

Scholarships for International Transfer Students

An applicant who has earned college credit will be considered for scholarships based on our review of their college transcript(s).

Scholarships for Current International Students

First-year international students who did not qualify for the merit scholarship upon admission can become eligible for a scholarship based upon their cumulative SUNY Plattsburgh GPA. Any semester that these students achieve a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or above will result in a $3,000 merit scholarship being applied to the next semester awards. Eligibility for this award remains in effect each semester until graduation.

MPH-GH Program Overview

Philosophy
To effectively address critical problems in population health, the 20th century public health paradigm must be transformed into a 21st century global health model of partnership created on principles of equality, transparency, mutual interest, and respect. The Thammasat Faculty of Public Health is leading the way to develop international collaborations in education and research reflecting this new model. Our priorities include developing a graduate program that defines global health from a socio-political perspective with an emphasis on interregional capacity building applying a South-to-South focus (Africa, Asia-Pacific and Middle East).

While enormous progress has taken place in aspects of biomedical science, the tools of public health and management, and social and political engagement, it is only when these elements come together that we have seen real and lasting strides in improving the health and wellbeing of the world’s disadvantaged citizens. By using our collective multidisciplinary and multi-sector experiences, resources, and expertise we can help change the fundamentals of global health. Not alone in narrow disciplines, but through partnerships that draw on differing perspectives, differing knowledge and experience, and differing priorities. Understanding how to mobilize such partnerships, how to make them most effective, and where to turn for experience empowers us at the global stage. The program aims to produce the intellectual foundation supporting a 21st century model of global health.

Program Objectives
The program’s objectives are expressed as core and functional competencies. Competencies students are expected to achieve are:

Core competencies

• Analyze the major underlying determinants of ill population health in countries and identify how human rights and social justice concepts and instruments provide a framework to promote global health.
• Analyze the political dimension of global health, including the processes by which health diplomacy influences the adoption and enforcement international laws, conventions, agreements, norms and standards through global actors and transnational networks. This should include the domains of trade, labor, food supply, the environment, pharmaceuticals, international aid, human rights, and conflict.
• Analyze the principles and practices that foster collaborative and multi-stakeholder design, management, and evaluation of programs in middle and low income countries to assure equitable access to quality health services.

Functional competencies
Information for decision-making

• Conduct effectively literature review and analyses.
• Use effectively appropriate research methods including quantitative and qualitative approaches (epidemiologic, bio-statistical, and content analysis techniques for data analysis).
• Analyze global and regional burdens of the most important health problems contributing to excess morbidity and mortality in middle and low income countries, including their magnitude and distribution.
• Analyze disparities in health status by gender, race, ethnicity, rural/urban status, and economic class, and other relevant determinants in the context of existing epidemiological, bio-statistical, and qualitative data.
• Effectively apply communication concepts, skills and techniques for awareness raising and advocacy in decision-making.

Design, management and evaluation

• Use information effectively for program design in order to develop evidence-based, realistic and innovative program responses to the underlying determinants of health inequities and disease.
• Understand and use management techniques that promote sustainability and cost-effectiveness of programs.
• Assess the appropriateness of population-based intervention strategies to address major health problems in middle and low income settings, including locally determined priorities and their efficacy, cost-effectiveness, and feasibility in reaching all segments of the population.
• Identify and apply effective strategies for community development, systems advocacy; public awareness; policy advocacy; global diplomacy.
• Apply collaborative and culturally relevant leadership skills to implement evidence-based policies and plans to solve public health problems in national and global settings.

CURRICULUM

MPH-GH Study Plan  >> click

MPH-Global Health Courses  >> click

Master Project 

• Students can choose from two study tracks namely: (a) a thesis research equivalent to 15 study credits; or (b) a capstone project equivalent to 6 study credits. Whatever the study track selected the total required study credits for the Master degree is equal (i.e. 45 credits). The difference between thesis research and capstone project study credits is compensated with extra coursework for the capstone study track.
• The thesis research study track takes 16 to 24 months to complete and prepares you for a career in research settings such as research centers, consultancy firms, and academic institutes, or eventually for advanced studies.
• The capstone project study track takes 12 months to complete and prepares you for a career in a variety of professional settings where skills in planning and evaluating interventions or assessment of policy is more relevant to the need for practice compared to research.
• Although the thesis research study track would be a logical choice if you have future plans for advanced studies (i.e. doctoral degree), opting for a capstone project does not necessarily exclude you from advanced studies. Your advisor will guide you in making informed choices on capstone project options that are relevant to future advanced studies.

GLOBAL HEALTH CAREERS

What organizations work in the global health space?
Global health professionals find jobs at global, national, and local levels. A more useful classification is to look at organizational functions such as: funding agencies, advocacy organizations, global or national governance, product development, public health services, community work, and consultancy services. In addition to the function, organizations work on prevention and control of diseases, while others focus on issues such as sexual and reproductive health, humanitarian assistance, migration, or marginalized groups, etc.

What are the job options with a MPH Global Health degree?
Broadly speaking there are three job-types: (a) experts in a specialty area e.g. tobacco control, (b) mastering a specific skill set applicable across areas e.g. program evaluation, and (c) a combination of a specific skill set applied to a specialty area e.g. health economics and HIV-AIDS.

The MPH degree in combination with your prior background equips you very well for a professional career. For those aspiring academic careers doctoral studies are required.
