Do you want a society where people live long, healthy lives? Public health works to address health disparities, injuries and premature deaths. Our Bachelor of Science in public health program provides a foundation in social and behavioral sciences, educational strategies, epidemiology, health policy, grant writing, and occupational and environmental health sciences.
