The goal of the Public Health Sciences major is to provide students with a fundamental background in disease control and prevention from a population health perspective. Students will develop an integrated understanding of how individual, behavioral, environmental, and structural factors shape health, and how multidisciplinary public health approaches assess, protect, and advance health at the population level. The Public Health Sciences major is viewed as an excellent option for undergraduate students who are preparing to enter graduate school in public health, as well as other health-related graduate or professional programs, such as medicine or dentistry.
Graduates of the Public Health Sciences program receive a Bachelor of Arts degree in Public Health Sciences.
