Can I apply to become an intern or fellow with the Institute?
We do not generally have internships or fellowships available for students to apply to. Occasionally students who are taking courses from our faculty will be brought in on a case-by-case basis, depending on our mutual needs. If you’d like to be more involved with our Institute please see question #6 below.Can I request a faculty mentor from the Institute, and/or get involved in the Institute’s research?
Students seeking mentorship and participation in our Institute’s research are strongly encouraged to take courses from our faculty. Then, depending on the work and on a case-by-case basis, students may request to be brought in to assist with research, or to be introduced to partners and colleagues on other projects. In addition, we offer several application-based funded fellowships each year to support students, advised by our faculty, in conducting their own international projects. Our professors also lead group trips around the world as part of some of their classes each year.

USC offers several interdisciplinary global health—and related—degree programs. These programs are housed and coordinated through various schools and academic departments.

Note: while our Institute faculty teach in, and collaborate with, various USC academic programs, the Institute itself does not manage degree programs at the moment.How can I get a global health fellowship?
