Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Public Health] From Samford University

A degree in public health will allow you to study a concern that impacts many (cardiovascular disease, suicide, obesity, environmental health and more), provides you with the skills to confront complex health issues from a prevention- population based approach and provides an understanding of how culture impacts health (understanding behavior, health communication, program management, cultural competence). Students will explore domains that influence health ? age, sex, hereditary factors, individual behaviors, social and community influences, living and working conditions, socioeconomic/cultural/environmental conditions and health law and policies.

Contribute to the public health successes (clean water, vaccinations, control of infectious disease, reduction in tobacco usage) by becoming a public health professional. A graduate can work for the government (local, state and federal health agencies), private sector health organizations, industry, non-profit health organizations or continue your path to graduate or professional school.
