Public health is the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through planned and organized efforts. Focusing on health promotion and disease prevention and addressing complex health problems at the community level, students will learn to deliver health programs that target specific population groups and gain real-world experience through extensive classroom learning, hands-on experiences/service-learning and an internship in their field of interest. The major combines a foundation in health-related courses, sciences, humanities and social sciences with courses in one or more departments. In addition to the major requirements students will select a concentration track that will build on their personal and career goals and interests. There are three concentration tracks: The health education/communication/community health track prepares students to pursue careers as health educators. Health educators are professionals who design, conduct and evaluate activities that help improve the health of all people, The science track is designed for students who desire a broad, strong foundation in the core sciences that also incorporates health-related courses. Students in this track may use elective credits to complete requirements for pre-health professional programs or to prepare to enter graduate programs in health sciences/public health that require a strong science focus and The healthcare with management track is designed for students who want to focus their efforts on the business/management side of health care. This track is desirable for students who want to move into staff and administrative positions in the healthcare industry or to continue with graduate education in business or management.
