Bachelor of Science
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that serious public health workforce shortages exist in disciplines that perform surveillance functions and the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPH) estimates that 250,000 more public health workers will be needed by 2020 to meet these needs. Further complicating the workforce shortages is the need for a prevention and a population health perspective in healthcare educational programs (Institute of Medicine). The BS in Public Health program explores concepts of preventing disease, prolonging life, and improving health with a population‐based focus. It provides a strong foundation in biological and social sciences with emphasis on evidence‐based approaches in program assessment, planning and evaluation for the protection and improvement of the health of individuals, communities and populations. This program is aligned with the Council on Education for Public Health curriculum standards for baccalaureate programs to provide graduates with the core competencies for entry into the profession.
The Public Health (BS) program contains 17 identified courses across 4 requirement categories. The prerequisite data currently includes 2 known course relationships.
