Our BS degree is flexible to allow students to explore interests and satisfy prerequisites for graduate/professional programs. Our Bioscience concentration focuses on the health of individuals and provides the prerequisites needed for professional health programs, including medical school, master's-level nursing programs, physician assistant school, and more. Our Public Health Sciences concentration focuses on the health of populations and provides the expertise needed to address community health, including intervention, epidemiology, policy reform, and more.
Our MPH program provides students with the knowledge and practical skills to become leaders in public health. Students choose from concentrations in Community Health Practice or Social Epidemiology.
