Public Health
The field of public health involves the art and science of helping improve a population's health. It ranges from headline-grabbing infectious disease response to the utilitarian world of seatbelt laws, and from fresh air and fresh drinking water to the fight to decrease infant mortality rates. The curriculum features courses taught in classrooms on the main campus that are complemented by online classes instructed by experts from The World Health Organization and others with expertise on the real-world problems facing our planet.
Careers in public health include health education specialists, healthcare administrators and public health advisers, With experience, those positions could evolve into health and safety engineers, health services managers and epidemiologists.
