PUBLIC HEALTH Aims and Objectives The Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Public Health is designed for students seeking a health-related major that is more broadly-based than the focused, existing majors within the University. The major combines a foundation in health-related courses, sciences, humanities, and social sciences with a breadth of courses within one or more departments in the University. In addition to the major requirements, which represent the health and science focus of the college, students will select a concentration track that will build on students’ personal and career goals and interests. There are three concentration tracks: 1. science, 2. health care with management, and 3. health education/communication.
