Bachelor of Science - Public Health, Pre-health professions

The bachelor of science degree in public health (BSPH) trains individuals interested in improving and promoting health. Our graduates work as vital members of community and health-care teams. They serve in hospitals, clinics, non-profit agencies, and health departments, as well as, industries, schools, local, state, and national governmental offices and private businesses. Some majors also go on to graduate education in a variety of medical, dental, allied health and public health programs.

The BS in public health has three concentration areas.

The pre-health professions concentration prepares students for entry in graduate professional schools in areas such as medicine, dentistry, physician assistant, pharmacy, physical therapy and public health. Students can participate in an optional internship that allows them some early exposure to their intended medical, allied health or public health field.
