BPH - Public Health

The Bachelor of Public Health is a 120-credit undergraduate degree program that provides students with a science-based grounding in the foundational knowledge of health and public health. The program provides students the opportunity to expand beyond foundational public health content by taking courses in promotion/disease prevention and disaster planning/crisis management. Students can utilize previous experiences in the military, emergency response, health care, social services, and other relevant backgrounds when applying public health concepts, knowledge, and skills. Students learn the fundamentals of health and wellness, epidemiology, program planning and education, research, evaluation methods, and health care systems, economics, policy, management, and leadership. The BPH is suitable for those aspiring to enter the public health workforce.
