Big questions about health get asked and answered on a community scale. From how we allocate resources to how we treat disease and common conditions, public health experts shape that conversation.
Request infoCOVID-19 has underscored the need for public health professionals who can help plan responses to outbreaks and other health emergencies. Beyond moments of crisis, public health experts also help policymakers and the public understand important health questions, and create resources and networks for helping people thrive.
Our Public Health major was built in collaboration with experts in the field, as well as companies creating modern solutions to public health concerns.
