NYUCN Global: International Healthcare Research!

Professor Ann Kurth overseeing HIV/AIDS field testing in Kenya.

NYU, as the Global Network University, emphasizes the importance of global perspective through study programs, global internships, and international research opportunities. The College of Nursing is an active part of this mission! As an NYUCN student, we want to encourage you to get involved and learn more about what we are doing in the areas of global scholarship and community development.
