Make a difference improving public health

In a world where balanced diets are a challenge, exercise is hard to make time for, and natural disasters and epidemics occur, we need people to step up and make others aware of what can be done to improve living conditions. Our bachelor’s degree in Public Health is designed for students who are passionate about improving health in individuals throughout communities and around the globe.
