Health Science

Bachelor of Science Degree:

Health science bridges the gap between scientific discoveries and the application of this knowledge to improve the quality of people’s lives, and research reflects the range of diverse health problems, settings and populations. The approach considers the multi-level determinants of health and well-being including individuals, groups, organizations, and communities. Health science professionals work at these various levels to implement and evaluate efforts that promote health and prevent illness and disease. An important aspect of this process involves empowering people to change the factors that influence their health and wellbeing, be it within the individual or in their social environment.

Master of Public Health

The Master of Public Health (MPH) degree combines the study of the biological, physical, psychological, economic, and social forces affecting the human condition. The degree’s curriculum seeks to analyze not only the nature and context of public health problems, but also the organizational, behavioral, socio-cultural, and political constraints to ameliorating these problems. Through experiences in and out of the classroom, students develop the habit of intellectual inquiry, prepare for challenging professions, strengthen relationships to their communities and contribute productively to society.
