Travel toTanzania with the Wright State Center for International Education, the Departments of Population and Public Health Services, and the School of Nursing.

Travel Abroad Experience
M.P.H. students worked with nursing and medical students on a Global Health Learning Experience in Tanzania. Co-led by faculty in Public Health and Nursing, the program provides a unique opportunity for Wright State University students to learn about global health while serving in Bagamoyo, Tanzania. Students with medical licensure may have the opportunity to participate in appropriate clinical experiences.
M.P.H. Student Experience
JocelynDiggs (M.P.H. ’25) led a health education program on her global health trip to Tanzania. She guided undergraduate students on their learning experience, designed educational materials, and wrote a post-trip analysis of the students’ experiences. This trip fostered meaningful international learning experiences for Jocelyn and her fellow global health students.
You’ll grow both personally and academically, just like Jocelyn and her peers did.
