The Department's goal is to train public health professionals for service in communities throughout New Mexico and other U.S. regions. Housed within the College of Health and Social Services (CHSS), the department plays a vital role in advancing NMSU's land-grant commitment to community service and engagement, particularly in enhancing health outcomes for diverse rural, border, and tribal populations statewide. Our faculty, staff, and students consistently embody essential public health principles including equity, diversity, inclusion, social justice, mutual respect, trust, collaboration, and fairness. These core values are indispensable for tackling persistent health inequities and educating future public health leaders and scholars.
