Students can choose the Public Health BS, BA, or minor, in addition to our accelerated Three-Year Scholars Program:
At the heart of the BA, BS, and minor are sets of core courses that ensure that students gain both foundational knowledge and practical skills in the field of public health. Through their electives, students then learn about health issues from the perspective of several disciplines. The electives are set up into four clusters:
- Global Health
- Health Science
- Social and Community Health
- Policy, Program Planning, and Evaluation
Students can pursue a Combined Bachelors/Masters or applyÌýfor the MA in Public Health Innovation & Practice.
