Postgraduate Certificate in Epidemics and Ethical Global Health (CEEGH)

(AUSN-CEEGH-Description pdf file)

The Postgraduate Certificate in Epidemics and Ethical Global Health (CEEGH) is a hybrid educational program which is designed to give those college and university students, as well as working adults and professionals, who are dedicated to enhancing the health status and quality of life of all global communities, the basic competent knowledge and creative and critical-thinking ability to improve the public’s health, especially as the world faces epidemics and pandemics.

The AUSN CEEGH program is also linked to the International Public Health Ambassador program, in cooperation with Eubios Ethics Institute.

AUSN offers three Undergraduate Degrees:

• · Associate’s Degree in Socio-economic, Cultural and Environmental Development
• · Bachelor in Arts Degree (BA) 
• · Bachelor in Science Degree (BSc) 

Course Transfer and Past Life Experience

We accept course credit from most colleges and universities in the world. You may  have some credits from other colleges. We use policies on transfer similar to established universities, such as University of Arizona, but may include more credit for your related life experiences.

We also accept credit from some high school courses from schools around the world. In particular if you have any Advanced Placement (AP) exam scores, Honors courses, International Baccalaureate (IB), Cambridge International, DSST scores, for example, these can also be credited for courses. 

So when you apply you need to write all these down, and all your life experiences. Even if you made some bad decisions, or had some bad luck, we encourage you to write it down, or share it during the interview.  Your information will be held confidential.  We will go through your background in detail with you to explain to you the exact number of courses that you will be required to take to achieve an associate degree, a college degree, or a graduate degree.  On the application form please also share your long term academic and life plans, so that we can assist you. We also offer some specialized vocational courses.

If you are currently taking some class at another College, it may be better for you to complete the course so that you have more credit hours to transfer.  AUSN accepts students who are enrolled at other universities at the same time, but you should inform us.

COVID-19: During the pandemic we note that many Colleges and Universities have closed, some permanently.  As a service to students whose may wish to complete their degree you can apply to AUSN.  Please note that we do not administer federal student loans, nor do we provide student visas to those who would like to stay in any country. We do offer scholarships, and will work with you in a fair manner. AUSN is primarily a postgraduate degree granting institution, but we know that some people still need to complete their undergraduate degree, and our model of education may be suitable. 

Required Credit Hours for Associate's and Bachelor's degrees

An associate's degree is earned after completing at least 64 credit hours of required courses.  35-37 credits are from courses that match those of the Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) 27-29 are from elective or common courses [https://www.aztransfer.com/generaleducation/].

A bachelor's degree is earned after completing at least 120 credit hours of required courses at a university, and we offer both a B.A. and B.Sc., both with substantial content from indigenous knowledge systems. Up to 64 of the credit hours can come from credits transferred from a community college. We follow the guidelines of AZTransfer [ http://www.aztransfer.com/degrees/]/  Please note that AUSN is not associated with any State or Federal body in the USA as we follow a decolonized model of education offered internationally.

Given the International Nature of AUSN we offer tailor-made courses for language study, including cultural immersion. The courses will be taught provided there is a minimum number of students in each class.  In U.S. Universities these “Other languages” are called foreign languages, however, as a decolonized University we use the term “Other” for the mother tongue of people who speak a different language to English.  It is also possible through our cooperation agreements to study some specialized courses in a language other than English, e.g. through spending 1-2 semesters abroad at overseas universities with cooperation agreements.
