Public Health Bachelor of Science
The flexibility of the public health major curriculum will allow the students to incorporate many different aspects of a liberal arts education. The goal of this program is to provide students with a solid background in general public health as well as the various specialization areas of public health (e.g., environmental health, community health, public policy and administration, epidemiology, health education, and global health). Students with an undergraduate degree in public health could also work in business, health communication, health services administration, social work, or law. This rigorous program provides a pathway to medical school and will prepare students for graduate studies in fields related to the health sciences, human services, and public health. There is sufficient flexibility to allow students to minor in one of several disciplines. Non-public health majors may minor in public health (see page 170) A public health minor may be useful for any student working in a field related to healthcare, as well as psychology, information technology, communication, homeland security, mathematics, leadership, sociology, or business.
