The Department of Public Health Sciences is the home to the only program in the state that is preparing public health educators at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. We offer a nationally approved undergraduate degree in community health education and an accredited Master in Public Health Degree with specialization in Health Behavior and Health Promotion (HBHP) and Health Management, Administration, and Policy (HMAP). Both programs offer students the opportunity to take courses on-line or through the traditional face-to-face format.
Faculty take great pride in working with students and mentoring them as they enter the public health world. We are proud when we state ‘We ARE Public Health’. We are even more proud of the fact that ‘We don’t just talk public health, we do it!’
