Bachelor of Applied Science Degree in Public Health
The Bachelor of Applied Science in Public Health degree program is designed to prepare students to take on public health roles; monitoring, evaluating, identifying, and treating health issues. Graduates of this program will have the opportunity for employment in educational organizations, government operations, or private companies in positions focused on creating public health policies, promoting health education, implementing and evaluating medical care programs, analyzing current health statistics, or working directly in their communities. The interdisciplinary curriculum includes courses that effectively teach current and future public health professionals how to treat health issues on individual and group levels. This program combines the natural sciences with statistical analysis and understanding, public health communications, program planning, research training, and ethical and legal aspects of public health. The degree plan culminates in an integrative capstone project, which enables students to synthesize what they learn to address public health challenges.
