When considering healthcare professions, most people envision medical roles like doctors or nurses who treat patients with illnesses or injuries. Public health professionals, however, focus on entire communities, emphasizing disease prevention, injury reduction, and overall wellness promotion rather than treatment. The Bachelor of Science in Public Health with a Health Systems Administration and Policy concentration equips future public health leaders with strategic management skills for healthcare organizations, prioritizing prevention while advancing social justice and health equity. The curriculum covers essential topics like finance, management, and ethics, empowering students to develop programs and advocate for policies that reduce health disparities across populations, ensuring equal access to quality care and health opportunities. Program graduates pursue careers in diverse settings including hospitals, community clinics, and nonprofit organizations.
This suggested five-year roadmap offers guidance for students aiming to fulfill degree requirements within that timeframe. Students should view this plan as advisory and always consult their academic advisor when making decisions.
Fifth-year coursework occurs at the graduate level after entering the dual degree program's advanced portion.
