Wabash Global Health Direct Admit
The Global Health Direct Admit program is for students with a strong interest in community health and the many factors that determine it. This program will provide students engagement with communities, leadership opportunities, and the chance to learn from global public health professionals in local and international contexts. Global Health Direct Admit students are guaranteed an immersive travel experience in global health to Peru, South America, as part of the Global Health class after their freshman year, and a summer internship in public health following their freshman or sophomore years.
