Bachelor of Science in Public Health - Non-Internship Track

Public Health professionals with a Bachelor of Science in Public Health-Non-Internship Track (BSPH-PHN) are prepared to:

understand the context and impact of public health history and ethics on the nation's health.
determine the scope and influential factors for public health challenges and how they impact individuals and communities.
assess community health needs and develop strategies to positively impact quality of health.
communicate to individuals, communities, and other stakeholders about public health challenges and opportunities with cultural competence.
function in a variety of government and private health agencies, clinical settings, nonprofit organizations, volunteer agencies, and other community organizations as a public health advocate.

The BSPH-PHN program is based on a philosophy of health promotion and disease prevention, to improve the quality of life of individuals, families and communities through education and program intervention. The BSPH-PHN discipline focuses on four areas:

the multiple determinants of health, including biological, environmental, sociocultural, health service, and economic factors,
identification of scientific data, tools of informatics, and other information for identifying factors that both foster and hinder the health and well-being of individuals and communities,
addressing major local, state, national, and global health challenges, and
designing public health approaches and interventions that improve health outcomes, population health, and well-being.

The Bachelor of Science in Public Health-Non-Internship Track is more than a means to produce ready public health practitioners. The curriculum for the BSPH-PHN can complement or enrich a traditional biology-based pre-health professions degree plan for students intending further education in medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, physician's assistant, physical therapist, and other allied health professions.
