The Public Health major prepares students to plan, implement, and evaluate health education and promotion programs in schools, communities, and internationally. The program provides a core foundation in epidemiology, environmental health, health behavior change, disease prevention, health education methods, research methods, ethics, management, and leadership. This major allows for professional certification preparation within entities such as the National Commission on Health Education Credentialing (CHES), the National Board of Public Health Examiners (CPH), and the Registered Environmental Health Specialist (REHS). Students will be prepared for postgraduate study in public health, health management, social sciences, medicine, or other allied health professions.
