The Bachelor of Science in Public Health prepares students for a wide range of entry-level public health positions. The coursework includes the foundational knowledge of public health practice (epidemiology, health policy, global health) and reflects the values of public health: community engagement, disease prevention, health promotion, and serving vulnerable populations.
The program’s major focus on health education prepares students to implement behavior modification and lifestyle changes for individuals, families, and communities. Students are eligible to take the Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) exam upon completion of this degree.
The BSPH program contains a combination of in-person and online (asynchronous & synchronous) classes. A limited number of classes may meet in an online synchronous format, where you will have scheduled meeting days and times for participation in real time.
Internship experiences are expected to be completed in person. You will collaborate with the Internship Program Coordinator to identify and secure appropriate placement sites near your geographical area that align with your career goals and meet program requirements.
