Unlike the traditional model of medicine, which is centered on diagnosing and treating illness in individual patients, those in the field of public health focus on the prevention of disease in the general public and on educating them to improve wellness.

Those who enter this field must be able to think strategically about the many forces that impact public health — the environment, relationships, and education, to name just a few. They must also be prepared to lead, boldly rising to the challenges, rigors, and changes that define public health and health systems in the 21st century.

Our B.S. in Public Health program prepares students to enter this field by providing them with a foundation in epidemiology, biostatistics, social and behavioral sciences, healthcare administration, and environmental health as well as the strategic thinking, administrative, planning, data collection and analysis, and communication skills that employers value highly and which lay the foundation for a lifetime of career success.

Upon completion of the program, you will have gained competency in five areas of public health:
