Quote:The School of Health Sciences is now accepting enrollments into our BS in Public Health program. This is a 120 semester credit degree program. Students will be prepared to enter the field of public health equipped with knowledge and skills to address challenges to population health. Students will be exposed to a curriculum that is rooted in promoting and protecting the health of populations and embraces the concept that health around the world is relevant to the health of local communities.
Students completing this program will be introduced to the five core public health disciplines: behavioral health/health education, epidemiology, biostatistics, health services administration and environmental health. The curriculum emphasizes knowledge acquisition, skills building and practical application in public health to prepare students for graduate studies and to enter the workforce.
The field of public health is in critical need of a skilled workforce and students in training to respond to emerging public health problems and emergencies. Governmental agencies are currently experiencing a shortage in the public health workforce. Compared to twenty years ago, there are 50,000 fewer public health workers. The BS in Public Health will prepare students to fill this employment gap. Finally, graduates of the BS in Public Health will also be eligible to sit for the Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) examination from the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (NCHEC).
