International Education:

All students in the Carolina classroom are introduced to global health issues across program levels. In addition, selected undergraduate students may seek opportunities to participate in research to reduce health disparities among underserved and vulnerable populations in the US. Elective opportunities for Study Abroad provide still other students with immersion experiences that broaden and deepen both their understanding of health needs globally and their ability to provide culturally competent nursing care within the US and internationally.
