Public health professionals prevent disease and protect and promote health within groups of people, from small communities to entire populations. At our college, public health is integrated in all that we do as we strive to ensure health for every person, every family and every community. Our interdisciplinary approach, research centers and focus on both rural and urban health will enrich your educational experience and position you for beginning your career or continuing your public health education. As a student, you will take an ecological approach to disease prevention, including examining environmental issues, access to healthcare services, health policies, and social and contextual factors as determinants of health.
