Miscellaneous
How can I be added to the Global Health email list?
Please send an email to undergrads@international.ucla.edu with your name, UID, preferred email, and request to be added to the Global Health email list.
I’m interested in studying abroad. Can I have courses count toward the minor?
In some cases yes, and it will depend on where you study abroad and if the courses you take are applicable to the minor. Courses must be a minimum of 4 units, upper division, and transferable to UCLA. All courses should be pre-approved, but final approval is determined by the GH Chair via a petition (once you come back from abroad and courses have posted to your DPR). Visit our Study Abroad tab and the International Education Office for study abroad programs and courses previously approved.
I took a study abroad course that was approved by the Global Health department, but it’s not counting toward my minor on DARS. How can I fix this?
Once your study abroad coursework shows up on DARS, an advisor can make any necessary course substitutions. You can send an email to undergrads@international.ucla.edu with your name, UID, and course information, or schedule an advising appointment, to request a DARS substitution if the course was already approved by our department.
Can I receive academic credit for my internship?
It is possible to receive academic credit for an internship and count it toward a Global Health minor requirement with department approval. Students must be enrolled in an approved internship course (e.g., 195CE) and coursework must be related to Global Health. Please consult with a Global Health advisor to discuss possible internship credit and the petition process.
