@Emmycat - From reading your daughter’s interests she might want to look into a public health major. At my daughter’s school, her public health major included public health courses but also science, psychology, nutrition, anthropology and other courses. The field of community public health includes educating the public and could be less research based. Public health has many more aspects than global health or infectious diseases. There’s also social and behavioral health which might be an area of interest to her. I would think a large university would have a public health major and perhaps some or many of the classes she has already taken would count toward the public health major.
