Major in Public Health-Global Health
I chose Public Health because it is a major that gives you versatility and flexibility to create the change and impact that you want in the world. You have a place both in and out of the hospital system. In a world after COVID, more people are realizing that prevention is just as important as treatment, and Public Health is a good way to do that.
