Bachelor of Science - Public Health

The Bachelor of Science in Public Health will provide students with a strong foundation in population health, social and environmental determinants of health and strategies related to disease prevention and health promotion—all critical to addressing health threats and strengthening the public health workforce. Public health’s interprofessional nature is ideally suited within an undergraduate curriculum, giving them an opportunity to apply core concepts to myriad fields, including public health, clinical practice, research, mental health or a non-health profession, such as business or engineering.

The  Bachelor of Science in Public Health curriculum will expose students to the essential principles of public health and the biomedical sciences concurrently (for students pursuing the health professions) and will provide ample opportunities to immerse them in community-based public health experiences and research. The academic rigor, emphasis on science and core public health foundation will fully prepare students for a career in public health or medicine. The instructional delivery method of the  Bachelor of Science in Public Health program will be an on-site model, with opportunities to participate in global, domestic and local medical outreach initiatives. Traditional classroom instruction will be augmented with innovative, community-based experiential learning and the use of contemporary information technology.
