Public Health
The multidisciplinary field of public health is committed to preserving, protecting, and promoting the health of individuals, populations, and the communities where they live, learn, work, and play. Public health professionals employ a wide range of tools to prevent disease and illness, improve physical and mental health outcomes, and ensure health equity. Students who complete the public health minor select courses that allow them to develop such practical skills as health education and communication, community organizing, epidemiology, program planning and evaluation, fundraising, grant writing, and public policy formation.
