The article aims to contribute to the discussion on the constitution of a field of knowledge of global health and sustainability in Latin America, from the analysis of the Graduate Program in Global Health and Sustainability of the Universidade de São Paulo, including its conceptual basis, research lines, supervisors, and student profiles. Data collection was performed by document analysis and a web questionnaire sent to 35 students enrolled on the program during 2013-2015. Results revealed the program has innovative and unique characteristics aligned to the Latin-American concept and to Agenda 2030, such as an international focus based on the health issues of globalization, grounded in principles of justice, ethics, and solidarity across world populations. A unique feature of placing emphasis on sustainability, social and environmental determinants, and on interdisciplinary research lines. Another evident characteristic was the multi-professional profile of professors and students, and the congruence of research themes with Brazilian, Latin American, and global issues.
