MAJOR PROGRAM IN PUBLIC HEALTH

Public health is a dynamic field concerned with the promotion of well-being, prevention of disease and disability, and the enhancement of quality of life. The B.S. degree program in public health — one of the few undergraduate programs in the country accredited by the Council on Public Health Education, the sole accrediting body of public health programs in the USA — provides the knowledge and skills necessary for effective practice in public and private settings.  Majors may develop a minor in an academic area which complements the public health major, except for the minor in Public Health.
