专业概况

在这里学什么？

Public Health is an interdisciplinary concentration through which students examine a variety of health issues, including population health and disease, health policy, cross-cultural and international aspects of health, the organizational and social structures through which health services are delivered and received, and the public health system.

Courses in the concentration allow students to explore the ways in which the social, political, behavioral and biological sciences contribute to the understanding of patterns of population distributions of health and disease. The concentration also provides students with courses in basic research methods and statistics necessary for problem solving and critical thinking in the emerging emphasis on evidence-based health care and public health.

Student Goals

Students in this concentration will:

Explore the breadth of population-level health issues and gain awareness into key theories and methodologies for understanding the distribution of disease, health, and wellness across populations, with an emphasis on vulnerable communities

Identify the role of cultural, social and behavioral factors, among others, in determining disease expression, disease prevention, health promoting behavior and access to care

Develop skills to organize and communicate information pertaining to a public health issue, including policy implications, priorities and recommended course of action

Work collaboratively on an original project related to public health through the Senior Seminar Capstone, or for eligible students, an honors thesis.
