Degree Modes
A graduate or doctorate degree in public health prepares students to play an important role in their communities. Public health professionals develop and implement public outreach programs that ensure the diverse health and socio-economic needs of the community are met. These programs may include disease prevention campaigns, environmental monitoring, and healthy lifestyle education.
Students can earn a public health degree in a number of ways. They can study part or full-time at a traditional university or through a convenient online program. These degrees require classes in biology, chemistry, anatomy, and physiology. Since the study of public health is pursued on a post-undergraduate level, many students earn their bachelor’s degree in related fields such as biology, psychology, and social work.
