Bachelor of Science in Public Health

The required public health core courses are designed to introduce students to essential public health core competencies: community health education, occupational-environmental health sciences, epidemiology and biostatistics, research methods, advocacy, health policy, health promotion, social, and behavioral health.

Through advising, students are encouraged to acquire a minor or a certificate with their electives that will enhance their knowledge in a specific area related to public health. These include, but are not limited to: Anthropology, Applied Statistics, Biology, Community Health, Economics, Exercise Science, Geography, Global Health, LGBT&Q Studies, Nutrition, Psychology, Regional Planning, Safety, Health, and Environmental Sciences, Sociology, Spanish, and Women's and Gender Studies. Students will receive academic advisement, depending in their career plans, to assist with the selection of classes and minors.
