The School of Allied Health Professions offers majors in Public Health (B.S.) and Health Education (B.S.Ed.), minors in Public Health and Health Education, and a baccalaureate degree completion program (B.S.). Students interested in one of the program’s majors or minors should contact the Public Health and Health Education Programs office for advising as early as possible. Failure to do so could result in delayed graduation.

Practical field training is required as part of the public health curriculum and student teaching is a required part of the health education curriculum. Students are advised that they are responsible for their own transportation to and from the training facilities and all costs associated with these activities.

The minor in public health is recommended for students in the social, behavioral, and physical sciences; education; or other fields who wish to understand the basic principles, methods, and practices of public health. The program reserves the right to limit the number of minors accepted in any term due to class size limitations.
