Infectious diseases of global significance affect people in every part of the world.

Part of the M.S. in Global Infectious Disease program’s mission is to coalesce as many voices and perspectives as possible, to solve the world’s biggest infectious disease challenges.

In seeking a diversity of individuals representing different places and cultures of the program, we enhance and enrich the collective education and experiences that our candidates acquire in their time with us.

Consequently, the program is committed to admitting international students who bring enormous value to the classroom and form an integral part of our community.

Our location in the nation’s capital is home to hundreds of diplomatic offices and international organizations where foreign citizens are part of the fabric of Washington, DC!
