There’s a strong emphasis on the development of the core methodologic and analytic skills for understanding and practicing the discipline to understand disease patterns, distributions, and determinants. Through a practicum experience, you’ll have the opportunity to apply skills learned in the classroom to real-world public health issues.

Enhancing your critical thinking and research skills through study of biostatistics, environmental health practices, models of health behavior, and public health leadership are foundational to having a well-rounded public health education. In addition, you’ll learn broader public health principles and practices which will enhance your ability to work within multidisciplinary teams and appreciate the complexity of evolving public health challenges and current approaches to addressing them.
