Preparing Students for Interdisciplinary Public Health Careers

There are many definitions to describe Public Health. In short, it is the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health through organized community effort.

The Public Health program is one of the newest degree programs within the College of Social Sciences and Public Policy. The first Master of Public Health degree was conferred in 2004, while the Bachelor of Science in Public Health degree program was recently established in 2020. Although youthful, our program is comprised of knowledgeable and expert faculty in their chosen fields. Both of our CEPH-accredited programs provide students with foundational skills and expertise for success.
