About the ProgramPublic Health Program

Public Health is an interdisciplinary minor that provides an introduction to the basic concepts and principles related to the American public health system. Students will actively engage in courses with the opportunity to complete case studies in health behavior, community assessment, and program development for a broad array of community issues and populations. The provision and understanding of community-based health services and programs is a centerpiece of the American public health system, and it is essential that students have a fundamental understanding of disease proliferation and the epidemiological approaches to address those challenges. Through participation in courses housed in a multitude of departments, our students will have the opportunity to hear a broad spectrum of application in public health, from the viewpoints of state and county health, religion, healthcare, and business.
