PUBLIC HEALTH
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE

CHANGE THE FACE
OF HUMAN HEALTH
Public Health protects and improves the health of individuals, families, communities, and
populations—locally and globally. In the public health field, we are unlocking new ways to
confront global issues by improving access to health care, controlling infectious disease, and
reducing environmental hazards, violence, substance abuse, and injury. Through our bachelor's
degree in Public Health, you'll be given access to the classes, experiences, and mentors you need
to make a difference in human health on a global scale.
WHAT MAKES
ACPHS
UNIQUE?
Our students benefit from small class sizes, a supportive community, and a strong
connection to our core interdisciplinary faculty. Students can choose to take one
of two tracks: Community Health or Health Analytics. Regardless of which track
you choose, the Public Health program culminates with an internship or research
project, both designed to guide students towards discovering rewarding future
career interests.
