A Public Health major covers epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, health policy and management, and the social and behavioral determinants of health. Coursework pairs foundational sciences (biology, anatomy, microbiology) with population-level methods, study design, survey research, data analysis, program planning, and evaluation. Most undergraduate programs award a BS or BA in Public Health and include a practicum or internship with a health department, hospital, nonprofit, or community organization.
Graduates work in disease surveillance, health education, program coordination, community outreach, and policy analysis across local and state health departments, hospitals, nonprofits, and global-health organizations. Many roles, including epidemiology and other analytical positions, expect a Master of Public Health (MPH); the bachelor's is a common stepping stone into that graduate path.
Public Health is also a growing field. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that employment of epidemiologists will grow about 16.2% from 2024 to 2034, faster than the average for all occupations.
