Our Mission

We advance health for all through collaborative learning and scholarly activities, enabling students and communities to thrive.

The field of public health is an exciting and rapidly growing one. We've learned that better health and quality of life come from proper design and investment. The choices people make and their environments can greatly impact their health throughout life.

Our graduates work at the frontlines of emerging health issues and strategically guide organizations and communities through evidence-based decision-making and cultural humility. Each of our programs prepares students in areas with projected job growth as organizations and communities recognize the need for better programs, healthcare, and environments that foster healthy people and communities.

Our degree programs include master's degrees in Health Education and Public Health. In addition, we offer an undergraduate degree in Community and Public Health with emphasis areas in Community Health and Addiction Studies.

Our academic certificate offerings include graduate certificates in Public Health, Rural Health, and Addiction Studies, and undergraduate Community Health Worker and Addiction Studies certificates. Certificate programs have reduced credits for focused training and can be completed in person or online.
